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

  • Biological variability is particular to each experimental system and is harder to control.

    “Biological variability is particular to each experimental system and is harder to control [189].”

    From A survey of best practices for RNA-seq data analysis (2016) · cites this paper as [189]

  • Accurate and abundant Illumina reads can be used to correct long-read sequencing errors and to quantify transcript levels.

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.
