In the citing paper
“Second, postdoctoral ECRs made up less than 3% of the overall sample5,52,57,66,68,87–93, yet they face slightly different challenges than doctoral students, and thus, more research should be dedicated to this group.”

“This difference may be related to work conditions during early career being more stressful and more likely to cause mental health problems 1,2 , and/or because people experiencing intense mental health symptoms leave the field.”

“Perhaps the greater severity in symptoms among marginalized individuals is the product of Western culture 13–15 and the current political climate, and not policies or culture related to planetary science.”

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.
