Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • Bohr in 1932 claimed that the mystery ingredient of life was complementarity.

    “Like Jordan, he was influenced by the organicists' view that the mysterious ingredient of life was yet to be discovered; but rather than opting for quantum indeterminacy, Bohr claimed that the mystery ingredient was a quantum concept he had helped to conceive: complementarity.”

    From The origins of quantum biology (2018) · cites this paper as [26]

  • Bohr attempted to extend complementarity into biology by arguing there was an analogous complementarity between the functionality of life and our ability to study it.

    “Bohr attempted to extend this notion into biology by arguing that there was an analogous complementarity between the functionality of life and our ability to study it.”

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.
