In the citing paper
“Chubin and Moitra (1975) found only very low percentages of negational citations (6 percent and 4 percent).”
From What do citation counts measure? A review of studies on citing behavior (2008) · cites this paper as Chubin and Moitra (1975)
In the citing paper
“For works that had been cited in the form of partial negational citations, it was noteworthy that they were highly cited immediately after publication, and then there was a rapid rate of decay (decline in citations to these sources). Papers that had been cited in the form of affirmative essential citations did not show that kind of course.”

In the citing paper
“About one-fifth of the citations were found to be affirmative perfunctory citations.”
From What do citation counts measure? A review of studies on citing behavior (2008) · cites this paper as Chubin and Moitra (1975)
In the citing paper
“Chubin and Moitra reached similar results: the citations made by the scientists in letters and full-length articles were most frequently affirmative basic essential (27 percent and 13 percent) or affirmative subsidiary essential (13 percent and 34 percent) citations, and affirmative additional supplementary citations (32 percent) were also made”

In the citing paper
“Most published content analyses provide no operational definition for the judgment tasks and report no reliability coefficient for the decisions made by judges (e.g. Chubin and Moitra, 1975; Spiegel-Ro ¨sing, 1977).”

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.
