In the citing paper
“Fractionated iron and molybdenum isotopes and levels of redox-sensitive metals suggest marine photic zone O2 (96–99).”
From The Archean atmosphere (2020) · cites this paper as [97]
In the citing paper
“Petrographic, geochemical, sedimentological, and isotopic data all suggest rapid and effective production, stabilization, and delivery of manganese mineral phases to sediments during the deposition of the Sinqeni Formation (Ossa Ossa et al. 2016, 2018;Planavsky et al. 2014).”
From The History of Ocean Oxygenation (2022) · cites this paper as Planavsky et al. 2014
In the citing paper
“The most negative δ 98 Mo compositions observed in Archean sediments are consistent with the delivery of manganese-oxide phases to the sediments and thus imply appreciable dissolved O 2 in surface-ocean environments.”

In the citing paper
“despite the possible origin of oxygenic photosynthesis by 3.0 Ga (13)”

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.
