Field notes
The displayed workflow divides review into six stages, from parsing sentences to resolving references, checking retractions, loading source material, comparing claims against quoted passages, and setting review priorities. Its example output uses separate labels for partial support, missing references, DOI mismatch, and retraction rather than collapsing everything into one verdict. The page reports six checks per citation and a 24-second median review time in recorded runs; those figures are site-reported.
