  • Missing citation for quantum mechanics claim
    The claim about particle-wave duality lacks proper academic citation.
  • Questionable statistical claim
    The 95.3% effectiveness claim seems inflated compared to published studies.
  • Potential plagiarism detected
    Section 3.2 matches 78% with a 2017 paper by Johnson et al.
  • Possible incorrect citation format
    The reference to Feynman (1965) may need page numbers for APA style.
  • Outdated experimental results
    The 2011 results have been superseded by more recent findings (2020).

Detailed Findings

Citation Issues
Location Issue Recommendation
Page 4, Paragraph 2 Missing citation for quantum mechanics claim Add reference to standard textbook like Griffiths (2004)
Page 7, Reference 5 Incomplete citation (missing page numbers) Format according to APA style guidelines
Page 12, Footnote 3 Questionable source (non-peer-reviewed blog) Replace with academic journal reference
Fact Issues
Location Claim Verification Status
Abstract "95.3% effectiveness rate" Not confirmed - highest in literature is 89.2%
Section 2.1 "The only known solution to this problem" Disputed - at least 3 alternative solutions exist
Section 3.4 "Results from 2011 study" Outdated - newer 2020 study contradicts
Plagiarism Issues
Location Similarity Source
Literature Review (para 2) 78% match Johnson et al. 2017, without attribution
Methodology description 62% match Standard lab manual text (should be paraphrased)
