Each citation links to the sentence it supports in the citing article.
Mechanisms¶
- Incentive-Compatible Preference Elicitation
- Its strength is that it secures candor without needing anonymity or a protected channel, which makes it usable where identity must be known — auctions, expert panels, resource allocation — and where a real, named design such as the Bayesian Truth Serum can score subjective answers for truthfulness.
This sourceIntroduces Bayesian Truth Serum as a scoring method designed to elicit truthful subjective responses without an objectively verifiable answer.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
