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

  • Concerted action to halt greenhouse gas emissions has been inadequate.

    “Despite these substantial negative consequences, concerted action to halt GHG emissions has been inadequate (Rogelj et al 2018, den Elzen et al 2019).”

    From Framing climate change for effective communication: a systematic map (2020) · cites this paper as Rogelj et al 2018

    The Emission and climate-related outcomes section (page unavailable) says that some scenarios assume limited near-term policy effectiveness, with global mitigation scattered and slower to accelerate. This supports the possibility of inadequate concerted action, but the paper presents it as a scenario assumption, not a finding that action taken to date has been inadequate. (LLM, conf=0.78)

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.
