In the citing paper
“Even as genomics researchers warn not to interpret genetic ancestry as race or ethnicity [15, 122], this has not prevented people (e.g. customers of direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies) from interpreting them as such [98].”
From Towards a critical race methodology in algorithmic fairness (2020) · cites this paper as [122]
In the citing paper
“However, when disconnected from their social and political histories, racial categories have no place in biological research [30, 90, 122].”
From Towards a critical race methodology in algorithmic fairness (2020) · cites this paper as [122]
In the citing paper
“Genetics, biomedical researchers, and sociologists of science have emphasized the importance of distinguishing ancestry from racial taxonomies within biomedical research [40, 49, 84] and have warned against the dangers of of using racial categories to describe genetic variation [14, 30, 122].”
From Towards a critical race methodology in algorithmic fairness (2020) · cites this paper as [122]
In the citing paper
“We also acknowledge that some objections to the use of race as a variable in prediction models have little to do with unfairness as described here49.”
From Predictably unequal: understanding and addressing concerns that algorithmic clinical prediction may increase health disparities (2020) · cites this paper as [49]

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.
