Abstract

Scholarship on federalism seems to reside in two worlds: that of U.S. federalism scholars and that of comparative and non-U.S. scholars. There is little evidence of cross-fertilization of research across the two worlds—especially U.S. scholars reading and citing comparative federalism work. This article describes what U.S. scholars are missing and how U.S. scholarship might be enriched from tapping into comparative federalism research.

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.
