“The obvious difficulty of such an approach is that 'the timescales of technology development, implementation and use are far longer than the duration of typical research projects' (Williams, 2019, p. 155).”

“Such approaches have been especially helpful in understanding the adaption in use of IT systems (Williams 2019), and would likely also apply in understanding the use of new digital technologies.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
