Moving to research partnerships in developing countries
Open accessAbstract
Much foreign-led research in developing countries remains semicolonial in nature and may have negative effects on partner countries"Annexed site" research led by expatriates should be phased out and replaced by a partnership model in which nationals lead research projects, with only technical support from outsidersResearch funded through national academics and institutions improves the chances of findings being translated into national policy and practiceThe principles of an equal research partnership need monitoring by funding agencies.

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.
