Overview
Paper: 4_APA.pdf • Style: APAiDominant Pattern Analysis Citations: Only Indirect/Support citations are present. Dominant single-source format is narrative author–date: Author (Year). By author count: one author: 'Surname (Year)'; two authors: 'Surname & Surname (Year)'; three or more authors: 'Surname et al. (Year)'. For multiple sources in one citation, the dominant format is parenthetical with semicolons and author–year pairs: '(Surname, Year; Surname, Year; Surname, Year)'. No page numbers are included in-text. A minor variant appears once as 'Surname, Year' without parentheses. Sources: Dominant pattern approximates an author–date journal/reference style: 'Surname, Initials. (Year). Title in sentence case. Journal/Outlet, Volume(Issue), page range. DOI/URL.' Common elements observed: authors listed as 'Last, Initial(s)' separated by commas (final author with '&' or 'and'; long lists sometimes abbreviated with 'et al.'), year in parentheses immediately after authors, titles mostly unquoted and in sentence case (proceedings items often use 'In: Proceedings …' with 'pp. xx–xx'), journal entries provide volume(issue) and pages, and DOIs/URLs appended at the end (as 'https://doi.org/…' or 'doi: …'). Web/organizational sources use the organization as author with undated markers '(s.d.-x)', retrieval date, and URL. Overall, most entries include core elements (author, year, title, outlet, and either pages and/or DOI), with variations for conference proceedings (location/series and 'pp.') and books (publisher and edition).
Citation Analysis
Source Analysis
Key Findings
- ! Three missing or mismatched in-text citations compromise verifiability and raise integrity concerns (30% of all citations). Examples: “Barnett, 2023” appears in a compound citation but has no matching reference entry; “Larsson (2020)” is cited but no corresponding source exists in the list; “Chassagne, 2018” is not an APA-compliant format and does not match any listed author—this likely intended “Chassignol et al., 2018.” Such gaps hinder readers from checking claims and can be construed as inaccurate or careless scholarship.
- ! Widespread APA problems in the reference list (81% of entries need fixes) impede source traceability. Specific errors include broken DOIs with internal spaces—e.g., “https://doi.org/10.1126/ science.adi6513” (Science), “https://doi.org/10.1111/jpim. 1260” (Journal of Product Innovation Management), “https://doi.org/10.1007/ s40593-021-00239-1” (International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education), and “https:// doi.org/10.1038/s42256-021-00298-y” (Nature Machine Intelligence). Several entries miss required elements: Cardona et al. (2023) lacks a publisher/URL; Dwivedi et al. (2023) lacks the outlet, volume/issue, pages, and DOI/URL; Antons et al. (2021) omits volume/issue and DOI. Conference proceedings are inconsistently formatted (e.g., “In:” with a colon; missing (pp. x–y); absent ampersands before the final author) across Hennes & Izzo (2015), Stracquadanio et al. (2011), and Alam (2021).
- ! Over half of the bibliography is unused in the text (12 of 21, 57%), suggesting padding and weak source-to-argument alignment. Uncited items include, for example, Antons et al. (2021), Chassignol et al. (2018), Garbuio & Lin (2021), Hennes & Izzo (2015), Izzo et al. (2019), Kobayashi et al. (2017), Nakagawa et al. (2019), Pinzolits (2023), Russell & Norvig (2009), and both Elsevier web pages. Such inflation can mask the true evidentiary base and makes the paper look less rigorous.
- ! In-text style inconsistencies and errors reduce professionalism and clarity. Two of ten citations (20%) have style errors—e.g., “Kim & Kim (2022)” uses an ampersand in a narrative citation (should be “Kim and Kim (2022)”), and “Chassagne, 2018” is not a valid APA in-text format. There is also inconsistency in two-author narrative connectors: “Chatterjee and Bhattacharjee (2020)” correctly uses “and,” whereas other places incorrectly use “&” in narrative. Consistency matters for readability and adherence to APA.
- ! Alphabetical ordering and suffixing for same-author, same-year items is incorrect. The two Elsevier undated entries are labeled as variants (“s.d.-a” and “s.d.-b”) but appear in reverse order. For the same corporate author and undated year, items should be ordered alphabetically by title (ignoring an initial “The”), which would place “To err is not human…” before “The use of AI…”, and the a/b labels should match that order.
- ! Mixed-language reference conventions within an English paper cause style inconsistency. The Elsevier web entries use Portuguese conventions (e.g., “s.d.” for no date; “Recuperado…”) while the rest of the paper is in English. APA allows localized formats, but within a single English-language paper, retrieval phrases and no-date markers should be standardized to English (e.g., “n.d.”; “Retrieved Month Day, Year, from…”).
- ✓ Solid recency and reasonable source diversity are evident. Only about 2 of 21 sources (~9.5%) are more than 10 years old (e.g., Russell & Norvig, 2009; Stracquadanio et al., 2011), while many are from 2018–2023. The set spans journals (e.g., Nature Machine Intelligence; International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education; Frontiers in Education), conferences (e.g., ICAC3; IJCAI), a textbook, and reputable science-news pieces (Science; Nature). This breadth strengthens topical coverage when references are properly aligned and formatted.
Recommendations
- Reconcile every in-text citation with a complete, accurate reference entry. Create a crosswalk table listing each in-text citation and its matching reference. Then: (a) add the missing entry for “Barnett, 2023” or remove the in-text mention; (b) add the full reference for “Larsson (2020)” or remove/replace the citation; (c) fix the mis-cited “Chassagne, 2018” to “Chassignol et al. (2018)” if that is the intended source, or update the reference list to include the correct author. Re-run a document-wide search to ensure no orphaned citations remain.
- Repair all broken DOIs and URLs and add missing bibliographic elements. Remove internal spaces in DOIs (e.g., change “https://doi.org/10.1126/ science.adi6513” to “https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adi6513” and “https:// doi.org/10.1038/s42256-021-00298-y” to “https://doi.org/10.1038/s42256-021-00298-y”). Use Crossref or publisher pages to retrieve missing details: add publisher/URL for Cardona et al. (2023); add journal/outlet, volume/issue, pages, and DOI/URL for Dwivedi et al. (2023); add volume/issue and DOI for Antons et al. (2021). Verify that each DOI resolves.
- Standardize APA formatting across the reference list. Apply sentence case to article and book/report titles (e.g., “Artificial intelligence and the future of teaching and learning: Insights and recommendations”), title case for journal names, and use an ampersand before the final author in references (e.g., “Russell, S. J., & Norvig, P.”). For proceedings, use “In Proceedings of … (pp. x–y)” without a colon after “In,” and include page ranges in parentheses (e.g., Hennes, D., & Izzo, D. (2015). Title. In Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (pp. 769–775)).
- Normalize in-text APA style and fix inconsistencies. Use “and” in narrative two-author citations (e.g., “Kim and Kim (2022)”) and reserve “&” for parenthetical citations (e.g., “(Kim & Kim, 2022)”). Replace the non-APA form “Surname, Year” (e.g., “Chassagne, 2018”) with either narrative “Surname (Year)” or parenthetical “(Surname, Year).” Scan the manuscript to ensure uniform application.
- Clean and right-size the bibliography. Remove genuinely unused sources or integrate them meaningfully into the argument. With 12 of 21 entries uncited, aim to reduce the uncited ratio from 57% to below 10% by either citing relevant items or deleting nonessential references. This will improve coherence and avoid the appearance of padding.
- Correct alphabetical ordering and same-author suffixing for undated items. Order the Elsevier entries by title (ignoring an initial “The”), then assign “(n.d.-a)” and “(n.d.-b)” to match that order. In an English manuscript, convert Portuguese conventions to English: “n.d.” instead of “s.d.” and “Retrieved Month Day, Year, from …” instead of “Recuperado…”.
- Adopt a verification workflow to prevent recurrence. Before submission: (1) run an automated APA reference audit (e.g., using Zotero/EndNote + an APA 7 style template); (2) resolve every DOI via a batch checker (e.g., doi.org/RA); (3) perform a manual spot-check of 5–10 references for title case, sentence case, and page/issue formats; and (4) do a final in-text vs. reference-list reconciliation.
- Prioritize peer-reviewed evidence for key claims and annotate unusual sources. Where news/editorial pieces (e.g., Science, Nature news) are used, ensure they supplement—not substitute for—peer-reviewed studies. Briefly indicate when a source is a policy report or news item and back key assertions with journal articles or conference papers.

3 | Alam (2021) Another benefit for scientists is that AI can make collaboration easier. | Alam (2021) | IndirectParaphrase of Alam’s point; no quotation marks are used and the idea is summarized. | SupportUsed to support the claim that AI can enhance collaboration in scientific work. |
Correct
APA narrative citation format is correctly used: author surname followed by year in parentheses (Author, Year) when mentioned narratively as Author (Year).
No page number is required for a paraphrase in APA.
Punctuation and spacing are appropriate for APA narrative style.
Consistent
This Indirect/Support citation follows the dominant narrative author–date pattern: Surname (Year) without page numbers.
|
CorrectThe citation 'Alam (2021)' aligns with an author–year style, where the primary identifiers are the author's surname and the publication year. A single bibliography entry matches exactly on these identifiers: 'Alam. (2021). "Should Robots Replace Teachers? Mobilization of AI and Learning Analytics in Education," 2021 International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communication, and Control (ICAC3), Mumbai, pp. 1-12.' There are no other 2021 entries with the surname 'Alam', so the match is unambiguous. No use of 'et al.' is involved, and the year matches precisely. | likelyThe claim that AI can make collaboration easier for scientists is consistent with the general scope of Alam (2021), which addresses the mobilization of AI in education and research contexts. Secondary sources referencing this work highlight the broad benefits of AI for researchers and educators, which plausibly include enhanced collaboration, as this is a well-documented benefit of AI in academic and scientific settings. The lack of direct evidence for the specific phrase 'make collaboration easier' prevents a 'plausible' rating, but the claim fits well within the likely content and intent of the source. The source's academic credibility and the context provided by related literature support the likelihood that such a benefit is discussed or implied. Limitations include the absence of direct quotations or page references and reliance on secondary summaries. |
3 | As AI becomes increasingly common in educational technology, Cardona et al. (2023) they stress the necessity of moral and just regulations. | Cardona et al. (2023) | IndirectSummarizes the authors’ stance on ethical regulation; no direct quotation. | SupportCited to support the argument that ethical policies are needed as AI use expands in education. |
Correct
For works with three or more authors, APA narrative style uses the first author’s surname followed by “et al.” and the year in parentheses: Author et al. (Year).
“et al.” is correctly abbreviated with a period after “al.” and not italicized.
No page number is required for a paraphrase.
Consistent
This Indirect/Support citation uses the dominant narrative pattern for 3+ authors: Surname et al. (Year).
|
CorrectCitation 'Cardona et al. (2023)' follows an author–year style pattern. - Primary matching elements: first author surname 'Cardona' and year '2023' - The bibliography contains: 'Cardona, M. A., Rodríguez, R. J., & Ishmael, K. (2023). Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and Learning: Insights and Recommendations. Washington DC.' - Author surname matches ('Cardona'), and the year matches exactly (2023) - Use of 'et al.' is appropriate for a work with three authors in common author–year styles (e.g., APA 7th) Therefore, the citation correctly matches the bibliography entry without ambiguity. | likelyThe claim is supported by the source's focus on ethical integration of AI in education, as evidenced by repeated references to guidelines, guardrails, trust, and safety in the report summaries and publisher descriptions. While the exact phrase 'moral and just regulations' is not confirmed, the report's recommendations for ethical transparency, data protection, and stakeholder collaboration are consistent with the claim. The source's authority (U.S. Department of Education) and the alignment of its stated priorities with the citation sentence make the claim likely, though not fully confirmed without direct access to the full text. The lack of a specific page number is not problematic given the general nature of the claim. Limitations include reliance on metadata and summaries rather than the full report text. |
3 | Chassagne, 2018 Even while AI has many clear benefits for academics, there may be disadvantages when using it for collaboration and research. | Chassagne, 2018 | IndirectParaphrases disadvantages attributed to Chassagne; no quotation marks or exact wording. | SupportUsed to support cautionary points about AI’s drawbacks in academic contexts. |
Incorrect
The correct format should be: Chassagne (2018) ... or (Chassagne, 2018).
APA requires either narrative format with parentheses around the year after the author’s name (Author (Year)) or a fully parenthetical citation (Author, Year).
The presented form uses a comma after the author’s name without parentheses, which is not APA-compliant.
Consistent
This matches the noted minor variant 'Surname, Year' without parentheses that appears once in the document.
|
IncorrectAuthor mismatch The correct citation should be: (Chassignol et al., 2018). Analysis based on an author-year style: The citation 'Chassagne, 2018' requires a match on the first author’s surname and the year. No bibliography entry lists an author named 'Chassagne' for 2018 (or any year). Closest relevant entry in the bibliography is: "Chassignol, A. Khoroshavin, A. Klimova and A. Bilyatdinova (2018). 'Artificial intelligence trends in education: A narrative overview', ProcediaComput. Sci, vol. 136, pp. 16-24." The year (2018) matches, but the first author’s surname in the citation ('Chassagne') does not match 'Chassignol' in the bibliography. Because the author surname does not match, there is no valid source match under author-year criteria. Additionally, since the source has four authors, most author-year styles would require 'et al.' in-text, further indicating the provided citation is not correctly formatted. |
plausibleThe citation sentence is directly quoted in the source, indicating a high degree of alignment between the claim and the source content. The source goes further to enumerate specific disadvantages of AI in academic research, such as bias, lack of human insight, and ethical concerns, which are consistent with the general claim made in the citation sentence. The context of the source is academic research, and the discussion of both benefits and challenges of AI is central to the document's content. The source is from an academic publication, which increases its reliability and appropriateness for supporting such a claim. There are no indications that the claim misrepresents or overstates the source's content. Limitations include lack of access to the full original Chassagne, 2018 document, but the direct quotation and context in the secondary source strongly support the plausibility. |
3 | Chatterjee and Bhattacharjee (2020) conducted a quantitative study using structural equation modeling to explore the adoption of artificial intelligence in higher education. | Chatterjee and Bhattacharjee (2020) | IndirectSummarizes the methodology and focus of the cited study without quoting. | SupportSupports the discussion by providing evidence of empirical research on AI adoption in higher education. |
Correct
APA narrative format for two authors uses “and” between surnames: Author and Author (Year).
Year is correctly placed in parentheses immediately after the authors.
No page number is required for a paraphrase.
Inconsistent
The correct format should be: Chatterjee & Bhattacharjee (2020). This is a two-author Indirect/Support citation and should use the ampersand per the dominant pattern 'Surname & Surname (Year)'.
|
CorrectCitation 'Chatterjee and Bhattacharjee (2020)' matches the bibliography entry 'Chatterjee, S., & Bhattacharjee, K. K. (2020). Adoption of artificial intelligence in higher education: A quantitative analysis using structural equation modeling. Education and Information Technologies, 25, 3443-3463.' Author-year style criteria are satisfied: the surnames of both authors and the year (2020) match exactly. A single, unambiguous match exists in the provided bibliography; no other entries share the same authors and year. | plausibleThe claim is highly consistent with the available source metadata. The title explicitly mentions both the use of structural equation modeling and the focus on AI adoption in higher education, matching the citation sentence exactly. Abstracts from ERIC [1] and ACM [5] confirm that the study used quantitative methods (survey of 329 respondents) and SEM to validate a conceptual model of AI adoption in higher education. The journal is peer-reviewed and the authors are listed as the same in both the citation and the source, further supporting the match. No evidence contradicts the claim, and the specificity of the citation sentence is justified by the source's metadata and abstract. Limitations: Full text was not available, so verification is based on metadata and abstracts, but these provide strong support for the claim. |

Correct
APA narrative citation format is correctly used: Author et al. (Year).
'et al.' is correctly punctuated with a period and not italicized.
Year is in parentheses immediately after the author group, which matches APA 7th.
No page number is required because this is a paraphrase, not a direct quote.
Assuming this is an academic study, the in-text format remains the same regardless of venue; form is appropriate.
Consistent
This Indirect/Support citation follows the dominant pattern for 3+ authors: Surname et al. (Year).
|
CorrectThe citation 'Dwivedi et al. (2023)' follows an author–year style. It should match by the first author’s surname and the publication year, with 'et al.' used appropriately for multiple authors. - First author surname matches exactly: 'Dwivedi' - Year matches exactly: 2023 - 'et al.' usage is appropriate given the multiple authors listed in the bibliography entry - No other 2023 entry with first author 'Dwivedi' appears in the bibliography, so there is no ambiguity Therefore, the citation correctly corresponds to the bibliography entry provided. | plausibleThe claim closely matches the title and likely scope of the cited work, which explicitly mentions adoption, perception, and learning impact of ChatGPT in higher education. Given the authors' expertise and the academic context, it is highly probable that the paper investigates these aspects and discusses the tool's diverse applications in educational settings. No evidence suggests the claim overstates or misrepresents the source; rather, it provides a concise summary of what such a paper would reasonably cover. The lack of full text is a limitation, but the alignment between the claim and the source's title, combined with general academic practice, makes the citation plausible. No contradictory evidence or red flags are apparent from the available metadata. |
4 | Holmes et al. (2021) contend that an ethical framework for AI is essential and that the majority of AI researchers lack the training necessary to handle new ethical concerns. | Holmes et al.

CorrectCitation 'Holmes et al. (2021)' matches the bibliography entry: 'Holmes, W., ... & Koedinger, K. R. (2021). Ethics of AI in Education: Towards a Community-Wide Framework. International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 32(3), 504-526. https://doi.org/10.1007/ s40593-021-00239-1.' Author-year style matching: first author surname 'Holmes' and year '2021' align exactly. 'Et al.' usage is appropriate because the source lists more than three authors. Single clear match found; no ambiguity with other entries. | likelyThe claim that Holmes et al. (2021) contend an ethical framework for AI is essential is strongly supported by both the article's title and multiple summaries, which emphasize the urgent need for such a framework in AI in education. The article repeatedly notes the absence of agreed-upon guidelines and the complexity of ethical issues in this domain. The second part of the claim, regarding the lack of training among AI researchers, is not directly quoted in the available excerpts. However, the article's methodology (surveying leading researchers about ethical issues) and its discussion of the need for interdisciplinary approaches and horizon scanning suggest a recognition of a skills or knowledge gap. The emphasis on the need for more explicit ethical training and frameworks implies that current training is insufficient for emerging ethical challenges. Given the source's focus, the claim is a reasonable and likely accurate summary, though the specific assertion about 'the majority' lacking training is an interpretive extension rather than a direct quote. This is a common and accepted practice in academic synthesis, provided it does not misrepresent the source's intent. Limitations: The full text is not available, so the assessment relies on extended abstracts, reviews, and partial excerpts. However, the claim fits the source's scope and is consistent with the field's discourse. |

CorrectCitation 'Prunkl et al. (2021)' matches the bibliography entry 'Prunkl, C. E. A., Ashurst, C., Anderljung, M., Webb, H., Leike, J., & Dafoe, A. (2021). Institutionalizing ethics in AI through broader impact requirements. Nature Machine Intelligence, 3(2), 104-110. https:// doi.org/10.1038/s42256-021-00298-y.' Author-year style criteria are satisfied: the first author surname 'Prunkl' and the year '2021' match exactly. The use of 'et al.' is appropriate given there are six authors in the source. No ambiguity—only one 2021 entry with first author Prunkl is present. | plausibleThe claim aligns closely with the source's title and abstract, which focus on institutionalizing ethics in AI through broader impact requirements. The NeurIPS conference's requirement for broader impact statements is discussed as a central theme, and the authors reflect on its implications and recommend measures to improve its effectiveness. The TechXplore article quotes Prunkl about the motivation for the perspective piece, which includes guidance for researchers on writing broader impact statements. The Nature Machine Intelligence article summary and related sources confirm that the authors recommend practices to ensure researchers consider and communicate the societal ramifications of their work. While the exact wording of 'recommend that authors publish a statement outlining the research's wider societal ramifications' may not be directly quoted, the substance of the claim is strongly supported by the available evidence. The recommendation is both explicit and central to the article's argument. Limitations include lack of direct access to the full text, but the metadata, summaries, and secondary reporting provide strong support for the claim. |
4 | In his discussion on the use of ethics standards as a governance tool in the creation and usage of AI, Larsson (2020) underlined the need for multidisciplinary research to succeed with data-dependent AI and the need for AI governance to shift from principles to processes. | Larsson (2020) | IndirectParaphrases Larsson’s arguments without quoting. | SupportProvides evidence for the need for multidisciplinary approaches and process-oriented governance in AI. |

IncorrectNo source found The citation should correspond to a bibliography entry with author surname 'Larsson' and year '2020', but no such source exists in the provided bibliography. Analysis: - Citation appears to be in an author–year style: author = 'Larsson', year = 2020 - Scanned all bibliography entries for an author named 'Larsson' (including potential close variants); none found - Reviewed items from 2020; the only 2020 entry is 'Chatterjee & Bhattacharjee (2020)', which does not match 'Larsson' Conclusion: - No matching source found in the bibliography for 'Larsson (2020)'. Consider adding the full reference for Larsson (2020) to the bibliography or correcting the in-text citation to match an existing listed source. |
plausibleThe claim aligns closely with the themes and conclusions found in the available summaries and excerpts of Larsson's work. Multiple sources (including direct academic publications and reputable research platforms) confirm that Larsson discusses the use of ethics guidelines as governance tools, the necessity of multidisciplinary research for data-dependent AI, and the argument for shifting from abstract principles to concrete processes in AI governance. The specificity of the claim matches the documented content and focus of Larsson's publications from 2020 and 2021. While the full text is not available, the convergence of evidence from several independent, credible academic sources makes it highly plausible that the citation accurately represents Larsson's arguments. There are no indications of misrepresentation, over-generalization, or context stripping. The lack of a page number is not problematic given the nature of the claim and the structure of the sources. |
4 | Additionally, because it takes a lot of work to identify and remove bogus publications, paper mills put a drain on journals' time and resources (Barnett, 2023; Brainard, 2023; Liverpool, 2023). | (Barnett, 2023; Brainard, 2023; Liverpool, 2023) | IndirectParaphrases evidence from multiple sources; no direct quotes. | SupportCited to substantiate the claim about the burden of paper mills on journals. |
Correct
APA parenthetical multiple-source format is correct: sources separated by semicolons and each has Author, Year.
Items are ordered alphabetically by author surname (Barnett; Brainard; Liverpool), which APA recommends for multiple citations in one parenthetical note.
These appear to be journalistic or editorial sources (e.g., science journalism outlets), which still follow the same in-text APA format; likely domains include .org or .com (e.g., Science/AAAS, New Scientist).
Consistent
This multi-source Indirect/Support citation follows the dominant parenthetical format with semicolons and author–year pairs: (Surname, Year; Surname, Year; ...).
|
IncorrectMultiple reference issues The correct citation should be: (Brainard, 2023; Liverpool, 2023) unless a matching bibliography entry for “Barnett, 2023” is added. Analysis by reference (Author–Year style requires matching author surname and year): 1) Barnett, 2023 — No source found in the provided bibliography. There is no entry with the surname “Barnett” for any year, including 2023. 2) Brainard, 2023 — Matches: “Brainard, J. (2023). New tools show promise for tackling paper mills. Science (New York, N.Y.), 380(6645), 568-569. https://doi.org/10.1126/ science.adi6513.” Author surname and year match exactly. 3) Liverpool, 2023 — Matches: “Liverpool, L. (2023). AI intensifies fight against 'paper mills' that churn out fake research. Nature, 618(7964), 222-223.” Author surname and year match exactly. Conclusion: Multi-reference citation contains one missing source, so overall classification is Incorrect due to Multiple reference issues. |
likelyThe claim that paper mills drain journals' time and resources is consistent with the topic and context of Brainard's article, which discusses the widespread problem of fake papers and the efforts required to combat them. The mention of new tools and collaborative industry responses strongly suggests that journals are expending significant effort and resources to address the issue. Although the abstract does not directly quantify the resource drain, the implication is clear from the described actions and industry concern. The source is credible, current, and relevant to the claim. Limitations include lack of access to the full text, which prevents confirmation of specific language about resource drain, but the context supports the claim as likely accurate. |

Teacher's Perceptions of Using an Artificial Intelligence-Based Educational Tool for Scientific Writing. Frontiers in Education, 7:755914. doi: 10.3389/feduc.2022.755914.' Using an author-year style, the primary elements (author surnames and year) match exactly. No ambiguity: only one 2022 entry with authors named Kim & Kim appears in the bibliography. | plausibleThe claim is directly supported by the article's title, abstract, and multiple independent summaries, all of which state that the study investigated teachers' perceptions of an AI-based scaffolding system for scientific writing in STEM education. The specificity of the claim matches the scope and focus of the source. The source is a peer-reviewed article in a reputable journal, and the metadata (authors, title, publication venue, and year) all align with the citation. There is no evidence of misrepresentation, over-generalization, or context stripping. The claim does not overstate the findings or scope of the study. The absence of a page number is not an issue, as the article is open-access and the claim refers to the overall study focus. Limitations include lack of full-text access, but the available metadata and abstracts are sufficient for a high-confidence assessment. |
