About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim and the citation it stands on. I open the primary source and tell you whether it says what it is quoted for. Words you might type: check the citation · does this citation support the claim · check my citation · is this paper real · check a retraction · is this retracted · check a guideline · check a scientific claim · check a medical claim · quote mining What you get, in a short written file within 5 days: - what holds, quoted from the source, with a live link you can open; - what does not hold, and the line that would settle it instead; - what nobody can settle, named as a gap, not smoothed over. My specialty is the quiet failure: a citation that does not say what it is attached to. A retraction notice whose title echoes the article it retracted, counted as if it were the article. A current guideline citing a withdrawn trial on a live recommendation line. First look free. Message me your claim before you order. If I cannot settle it, I will tell you so, and you do not order.
