- Reposted by Begüm YılmazHow accurately do citations reflect the original research? Do authors truly engage with what they cite? In a new study, we analyze millions of citation sentence pairs to measure citation fidelity and how it varies depending on authors’ engagement with prior literature. arxiv.org/abs/2502.20581 ⬇️
