Abstract

This article is an experimental treatment of conflict and ambivalence in a study of mothers’ accounts of child rearing. Encouraged by the postmodern critique of overly rationalized academic texts, the author intentionally fragments her work to highlight the process of journal-article writing itself. Interspersed with the researcher’s text are reflections on the main narrative. These reveal fragmentation, multiplicity, and a sense of work in progress, all of which are seen as valuable to future paradigms of representation.

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.
