ID	Citation and identity	Version and receipt	Text and locator	Claim status	Recheck or disposition
S-01	Article, authors, year, DOI agree	Published version held; checksum recorded	Full text; results section located	Verified for bounded result	Recheck 2027-03-01
S-02	Title matches; author list incomplete	Accepted manuscript held	Methods text located; publication pages differ	Use only as accepted version	Find version of record
S-03	DOI resolves to intended article	Local file is a working paper	Abstract only; result not checked	Identity verified; claim open	Do not cite load-bearing result
S-04	Page title and retrieval date agree	Page capture held; source page changed later	Relevant paragraph preserved	Verified for dated page statement	Recheck if page is reused
S-05	Citation matches a retracted work	Retraction notice held	Original result located	Blocked for new claim	Record retraction and cut claim
S-06	PDF opens but text layer is empty	Artifact retained as page images	Locator requires image check	Incomplete text verification	Inspect page image before use

Source and evidence

Each line names a claim related to this exhibit, its source, and how it was checked.

A GRN09-C1 The stated outcome measures are "Citation bias, amplification, and invention, and their effects on determining authority", in a complete citation network about one biomedical belief. These are mechanisms that can create unfounded authorityGreenberg (2009), abstract and discussion
A GRN09-C3 The evidence base is one network: "The network contained 242 papers and 675 citations addressing the belief". Within it, citation alone can convert a hypothesis into a statement presented as factGreenberg (2009), abstract and discussion
B R05-OWN-C1 Source verification is a chain from source identity and version through retrieval, held artifact, text integrity, claim location, and permitted useAuthor framework grounded in GRN09-C1 to GRN09-C3
B R05-OWN-C2 Discovery, retrieval, identity, version, full-text receipt, extraction, quotation checking, and recheck are separate source-control eventsAuthor framework
B R05-OWN-C5 A full-text receipt supports a claim only within the version, scope, and text actually heldAuthor boundary
B R05-OWN-C6 A source ledger should preserve citation, identifier, version, receipt, full-text status, locator, claim status, and next recheck dateAuthor operating framework
B R05-OWN-C9 The six-row verification register is synthetic and contains no private correspondence, account, participant, or customer sourceAuthor synthetic object

Grades: A, verified against the printed page of the primary source · B, primary source, text layer only · C, authoritative secondary · D, reported.

From the essay

From the research bench

What is source verification? From claim to version of record

Source verification connects a citation to its identity, version, held text, locator, and permitted use. A DOI alone is not a claim check.
