Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Old catalogues show Chinese authors deliberately separating Chinese-authored texts and marking them as inauthentic.
“Indeed, the ancient bibliographies show us Chinese authors taking pains to segregate Chinese-authored texts and label them as inauthentic”
From The Heart Sutra: Revisiting its Texts, History, and Meaning, by Henry C. H. Shiu (2026) · cites this paper as Tokuno 1990
Scholarship on Chinese Buddhist bibliographies firmly maintains that Chinese Buddhists regarded Indian origin as the essential criterion of authenticity.
“This is a surprising conclusion given that the literature on Chinese Buddhist bibliographies unequivocally insists that an Indian origin was the sine qua non of authenticity amongst Chinese Buddhists themselves.”

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.
