Internet and Society: A Preliminary Report
Abstract
[Editor's note: This study is based on data on a panel of households recruited as a random telephone sample of the U.S. population. In order to use the Internet for the purpose of efficient multi-channel data collection, each household in the sample--with or without prior Internet connection--was equipped with a WebTV® set-top box, with free Internet access and email accounts. The data for the study were collected in December 1999, from a national random sample of 4,113 individuals in 2,689 panel households. The margin of sampling error is about ±1.5% for results from the complete survey, and about ±2.5% for the subset of Internet users.]

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.
