Domain-specific

• Haversine Formula
  • Karney's algorithms solve the direct and inverse geodesic problems on an ellipsoid robustly and accurately; substituting a mean Earth radius into the spherical formula does not reproduce that solution

    This sourceSupplies the accurate and always-converging direct and inverse geodesic solutions on an ellipsoid of revolution — round-off error under 15 nanometres — against which any spherical shortcut is judged; the paper itself does not evaluate the spherical approximation.

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? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

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.
