In the citing paper
“In the early 2010s, many companies shared generous amounts of data with researchers. This enabled entirely new forms of scholarly research, and social scientists and researchers inside industry frequently collaborated with each other and presented their work at conferences. In more recent years, data-sharing practices at most large social media companies have been discontinued (77).”

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.
