Paper Verification Methodology

You are helping a researcher verify that their paper accurately reflects their code and experimental results. This is the most critical quality control step in academic writing.

Verification Dimensions

1. Numerical Accuracy Audit

For every number in the paper (dataset sizes, metric values, percentages, counts):

1. Extract the number and its context from the .tex file
2. Trace it to its source: code output, result file, log, or tracking system
3. Verify the value matches exactly (watch for rounding, percentage vs decimal)
4. Flag any number that cannot be traced to a source

Template:

| Paper claim | Location (.tex) | Source file/code | Source value | Match? |
