It is trivially easy to validate the existence of a cited paper.
- jsrozner 2mo agoI'm sympathetic to the idea: we should have an open, publicly queryable citation graph. Google scholar could very easily offer this at marginal cost near zero, but they won't.
- AlotOfReading 2mo agoI'd almost rather Google scholar not offer that, because it might draw attention from the eye of sauron and deliver them to the Google graveyard.

- dghlsakjg 2mo agoWhere can I do that? Do I have to manually extract each citation from a paper and then individually look each up? Can I validate quoted text without a subscription? Is it the same system for every paper in every journal or do I have to have fluency in multiple databases. Yeah. It’s trivial to do for one paper while sitting at a computer in a university library. How trivial is it to validate the hundreds of sources and quotes that appear in any given volume of a journal?
