ARC-REFERENCE-AUDIT-2026-10-01 · checked 2026-10-01 · bibliographic audit
ARC editorial preparation (agent-assisted reference audit); no independent reviewer identified
Bibliographic identity, identifiers, direct destinations, and recoverable citation mapping for current ARC Research Notes 001–004 and ARC Review 001. External reference inventory across current site representations found the RN003 ledger and RN002 incident-account link; remaining named references are in RN004 and Review 001. Internal links and fragments are checked by the site verifier. Archived editions, immutable supplied originals, frozen research inputs, and private evidence are preserved; no exhaustive claim, quotation, legal, or replication audit is asserted. Input snapshots identify pre-link-enrichment artifacts inspected during this audit.
Inspected primary publisher/proceedings/author/official records through web retrieval and search; used publisher-deposited Crossref metadata where publisher endpoints blocked access. HTTP success alone is not identity verification. Cached/indexed records and later editions are stated explicitly. Every unknown original marker remains labeled unresolved.
Verification limits
Historical identifiers, digests and citation mappings retained; noncompliant original payloads privately preserved and withdrawn from current public hosting. Current research is a separately reviewed edition.
verified(64)- Named source identity and a direct destination confirmed; not all claims, passages, or metadata fields verified.
verified-with-correction(3)- Source identified, with a bibliographic or status error recorded and corrected only in the reading copy.
partial(4)- Work identified, but cited edition, passage, current legal state, or fresh source access not fully verified.
unverified(0)- Insufficient evidence to identify the precise source.
Counts refer to 71 distinct source records, not citation occurrences. RN001’s retained trials and RN002’s private corpus are not external bibliographic references and are not newly audited here.
