About the work

A closer look.

Send me one line from something you are about to publish, post, or repeat: a fact, a number, a date, a quote, a citation, a claim. What I check, in the words people use: - Check a citation / citation check: does the source say what your line says it says? - Is this study real / is this paper peer reviewed: I read the paper, not the press release or the summary. - Does this study actually say that: I quote the exact sentence that carries the claim. - Check my references: is anything you cite retracted, corrected, or still only a preprint? - Version of record: the published article, not the earlier draft that summaries copied. - Verify a citation / is this source legit: I name the source and show how to reach it. You get back what holds, what does not, the exact place it breaks, and the source itself (link, archive, or file) so you can audit the verifier. If I cannot reach the source, I say so before you pay. Example of the work: a brief of mine flagged a cited paper as a preprint. A reader checked: the version of record had already landed (J Exp Biol, DOI 10.1242/jeb.252760). The correction went out on the artifact, dated and credited. A flag is a claim too. First check free: message the shop with one claim before ordering and I run that one at no charge. One revision included. Delivery 2-3 days. Cold verdict, no agreeableness.
