Case 13 — Research figure captions: tell the reader what was measured

Correction note for “Research figure captions: tell the reader what was measured”: retain the wording beginning “Describe the measurement, population or model,…” in the record. If later material changes it, add the date, the changed wording and the source for that change; do not invent a completed correction here. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 13 — Research figure captions: tell the reader what was measured

Summary draft for “Research figure captions: tell the reader what was measured”: the answer addresses “Describe the measurement, population or model,…”; the related point is “Interpretive discussion belongs alongside the evidence, not…”. Keep both connected to the opening question, and mark any conclusion needing further records as unresolved. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 14 — Data provenance: keep source, transformation and output together

Keep the source citation, retrieval date and a record of conversions or exclusions. Make synthetic examples explicit and never combine them silently with observed data.

Case 14 — Data provenance: keep source, transformation and output together

Clarification for “Data provenance: keep source, transformation and output together”: the point beginning “Keep the source citation, retrieval date and a…” belongs to the question as written. It should not be read as a report that a new check, purchase or experiment has been completed. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 14 — Data provenance: keep source, transformation and output together

Method note for “Data provenance: keep source, transformation and output together”: use “Keep the source citation, retrieval date and a…” as a row heading in a proposed working record. Put the statement, its supporting source or measurement, and any unresolved detail in separate fields. This proposes a format; it supplies no additional evidence. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 14 — Data provenance: keep source, transformation and output together

Limit of the answer in “Data provenance: keep source, transformation and output together”: “Keep the source citation, retrieval date and a…” is an excerpt from the discussion, not an independent verification. A reader needs the relevant original material before treating an interpretation as established. Review focus: scope. Keep the stated question separate from any broader claim.

Case 15 — Clinical questions in an archive discussion
