In the citing paper
“Political scientists have found that partisan bias effects on questionanswering accuracy [Bartels, 2002] are significantly reduced when respondents are offered a monetary bonus for correct answers [Bullock et al., 2015, Prior et al., 2015].”
From Talk Isn't Always Cheap: Understanding Failure Modes in Multi-Agent Debate (2025) · cites this paper as Bartels, 2002
In the citing paper
“A seminal finding in political behavior research is that people tend to believe that economic outcomes (e.g., GDP growth, unemployment rate) are more favorable when their party is in the White House and more unfavorable when it is out (Bartels 2002).”
From The Origins and Consequences of Affective Polarization in the United States (2019) · cites this paper as Bartels 2002
In the citing paper
“A number of studies find that partisans disagree about politically-relevant facts on topics ranging from the performance of the economy (e.g., Bartels, 2002;Scha↵ner and Roche, 2017;Bisgaard and Slothuus, 2018) to the details of health care policy (e.g., Berinsky, 2017;Nyhan, 2010).”

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.
