In the citing paper
“A growing body of performance-based research demonstrates that many university students struggle to evaluate online information effectively, particularly when confronted with conflicting claims or persuasive but unreliable content (Kops et al., 2025; Lan and Tung, 2024; Trixa and Kaspar, 2024).”

In the citing paper
“Rather than reducing the importance of information competence and critical thinking, generative AI amplifies their necessity by requiring learners to interrogate outputs, verify claims, and make ethically informed decisions about academic use (Lan and Tung, 2024).”

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.
