Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Both mysticete and odontocete clades possess a highly expanded and convoluted cortex and cerebellum, suggesting that either major structural changes occurred in parallel in mysticetes and odontocetes or that these changes occurred before the origin of crown Cetacea.

    “both clades possess a highly expanded and convoluted cortex and cerebellum suggesting that either major structural changes occurred in parallel in mysticetes and odontocetes or that these changes occurred before the origin of crown Cetacea (Marino et al. 2000;Oelschläger and Oelschläger 2002;Marino 2004;Tartarelli and Bisconti 2006;Hof and van der Gucht 2007).”

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.
