Dark Energy Versus Modified Gravity
Open accessAbstract
Understanding the reason for the observed accelerated expansion of the Universe represents one of the fundamental open questions in physics. In cosmology, a classification has emerged among physical models for this acceleration, distinguishing between dark energy and modified gravity. In this review, we provide a brief overview of models in both categories as well as their phenomenology and characteristic observable signatures in cosmology. We also introduce a rigorous distinction between dark energy and modified gravity based on the strong and weak equivalence principles.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“They state that using the SEP to make this distinction can be motivated further by the conjecture that GR is the only metric theory that satisfy the SEP, see Will (2014).”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Joyce et al. (2016) and possibly others, propose to use the strong equivalence principle (SEP) (see Sect. 2.1) to draw a distinction between GR dark energy models versus MG models. They suggest to call any model that satisfies the SEP as a dark energy model and any model that violates SEP to be an MG model.”

The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“They state that, heuristically, the SEP forbids the presence of a fifth force which motivates the use of such a discriminant.”

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.
