Abstract
A software project building an end-to-end provenance and citation-verification pipeline so that every public claim can be traced back to a verifiable source. The work focuses on recording where data and citations come from and surfacing breaks in the chain before a claim is published.
Research question
Can sources be tracked end-to-end so every claim links back to a verifiable origin?
Methods
- Source provenance recording
- Citation resolution
- Claim-to-source linking
- Chain-of-custody checks
Data
Internal research artifacts and public citation sources (Semantic Scholar, Crossref, arXiv).
Results
Research in progress. No completed findings are claimed.
Limitations
An evolving internal system; coverage and reliability are still being established.
Code availability
- Internal. Release forthcoming.
Data availability
- Public citation sources.
AI disclosure
- AI agents assisted with literature retrieval, code generation, analysis support, critique, and drafting. Deterministic systems produced and verified the estimates. A human researcher approved the question, design, interpretation, and release.
Reproduction status
- Internal validation.
