Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Creativity support tools are designed to enhance both the creative person and the creative activity, aiming to 'make people more creative more often' and facilitating creative activities by improving the processes, usability, and workflows involved in creative work.

    “These CSTs are designed to enhance both the creative person and the creative activity [45], aiming to 'make people more creative more often' [89] and facilitating creative activities by improving the processes, usability, and work ￿ ows involved in creative work [81].”
  • In HCI, Shneiderman identified four stages of creative tasks and eight activities that tools can support, including consulting with peers and composing artifacts.

    “Shneiderman [20,47] identified four stages of creative tasks and eight activities that tools can support, including consulting with peers and composing artifacts, and that tools can be designed differently depending on which activity or stage of co-creation they target.”

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.
