"Science Citation Index"—A New Dimension in Indexing: This unique approach underlies versatile bibliographic systems for communicating and evaluating information.
Abstract
ing Services Recently Bennett (47) has reiterated my earlier recommendation that an index to the abstracts in specialty journals and to abstracts prepared by the smaller abstracting services be compiled (21). Frequently these are abstracts which include criticism. As such, they constitute original publications. Every author should know of such critical abstracts of his papers. In literature searches, abstracts may serve in lieu of the original articles, particularly when the original article is in a foreign language, or when it is not readily available. Citation indexes can be used to locate these abstracts quickly and to identify unabstracted articles (31). Author Citation Index A random-access computer memory does not require special ordering for data storage. In such memories the arbitrarily assigned data-addresses need not be known to the user. By contrast, a printed citation index must have a

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.
