SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Researchers and reviewers need to confirm that citations in a written Artifact point to real papers and that the claims attributed to those papers are actually supported by the cited Evidence, without manually cross-checking every DOI, abstract, and claim. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Paper identity verification: Match DOI, PMID, PMCID, arXiv identifier, title, authors, year, and venue against a governed source snapshot or an MCP literature-search tool. - Claim support review: Compare the Artifact claim excerpt's conclusion, population, method, outcome, and scope against the linked Evidence and verified abstract. - Structured findings: Return standardized result codes such as CITATION_IDENTIFIER_MISMATCH, CITATION_IDENTIFIER_NOT_RESOLVED, CITATION_SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE, CITATION_CLAIM_NOT_SUPPORTED, or INCONCLUSIVE. - Use Case: Given a locked research Artifact with a reference map and Evidence entries, review one target citation per run and report whether the cited paper exists and whether the claim it supports holds up. ## Quick Start Review the target citation in the supplied Artifact using its reference map, linked Evidence, and governed source snapshot, then return the structured citation finding.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify that a citation in a research document is real?▼

Verify citation identity by matching the DOI, PMID, PMCID, arXiv identifier, normalized title, authors, year, and venue against a governed source snapshot. If no snapshot is supplied, use an enabled MCP literature-search tool before falling back to governed web verification.

How do I check whether a cited paper actually supports a claim?▼

Compare the claim's conclusion, population, intervention or method, outcome, and stated scope against the linked Evidence, the verified abstract, and governed public results. Metadata only proves a paper exists; an abstract supports only the claims it explicitly states.

What happens when a citation source cannot be reached?▼

A network, provider, or timeout failure is reported as CITATION_SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE, which is inconclusive and never proves a paper is fabricated. An explicit not-found result is reported separately as CITATION_IDENTIFIER_NOT_RESOLVED.

When should a claim be marked as not supported by its citation?▼

Return CITATION_CLAIM_NOT_SUPPORTED only when available sources clearly contradict the claim or show it is over-broad. If a full text or more context would be needed to decide, return INCONCLUSIVE instead of treating insufficient evidence as a defect.

Can the citation reviewer scan all references in a document at once?▼

No, it reviews exactly one target citation per run using only the supplied target reference and its linked claim excerpt. It does not rescan or judge other references in the Artifact.
