In the citing paper
“The result of viewing mechanisms as intervening variables is that the actual causal process itself is grey-boxed (Bunge, 1997: 428; Waldner, 2012).”

In the citing paper
“Yet both in effect transform the within-case study of causal processes into a cross-case analysis of patterns of variation at a lower level of aggregation, where we lose focus on the process between the variables (Mahoney, 2001: 578; Mayntz, 2004:244-245; Hedström and Ylikoski, 2010: 5152; Waldner, 2012: 76-77).”

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.
