An empty citation changes the result

Click “Page demo” in the tool to load and check the three sentences below. This is synthetic material; [1] has no corresponding reference.

Input

Research shows this training method always improves scores by 50 percent.
According to a report, this training method improves scores by 50 percent [1].
Earth is flat.

Actual output

3 claims detected: 1 high priority, 1 with a source signal.

Reading the result

The strong promise in the first sentence receives high priority. The second becomes low priority with a source signal because it contains [1], although no study is supplied. “Earth is flat” is flagged at medium priority in English, while the short Chinese equivalent is omitted. The language versions therefore do not detect the same set of claims. Neither training-effect claim has evidence sufficient for publication.

Failures and manual checks

Short claims, implied conclusions and citation relevance can escape detection. Open each source and check its authorship, actual wording, sample and scope. Leave unsupported claims unresolved.
