Notes¶
Strong results for the epistemological analysis of fact-checking. Notable that three of the ten results were duplicates of the same Vandenberghe (2025) paper across different repositories, indicating it is a significant recent contribution. No results returned a formal operationalized framework — all results were analytical/critical rather than prescriptive/standard-setting.
