Perceived Believability of Research Results Information in Advertising
Abstract
Research results information is becoming more frequently utilized in advertising to substantiate product performance claims, yet little is known about consumers' perceived believability of this information. Available literature suggests five characteristics of research results information which potentially impact believability, and these are empirically assessed in a representative field setting. The resultant implications for advertisers are discussed.

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.
