In the citing paper
“This literature has largely rejected the 'knowledge deficit model' underlying the framing of public resistance to sciencebacked policies (Wynne 1991; 1992; 1995; 2006; Lewenstein 1992; Layton et al. 1993; Evans and Durant 1995; Irwin and Wynne 1996; Miller 2001; Jasanoff 2005).”

In the citing paper
“Some have highlighted the 'contextual' nature of scientific knowledge-scientific facts are not as unproblematic as the deficit modellers assumed. Instead social context and lay knowledge play a significant role in how science is assimilated into public understanding (Wynne 1995; Irwin 1995; Brunk 2006).”

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.
