Frequently asked questions
Does a contrasting citation prove a result is false?
No. It identifies a citation context to inspect; the methods and findings still need human assessment.
Is API access part of Basic?
The current pricing page places API access in Pro rather than Basic; larger data needs require a separate discussion.
