Many small claims, all under active replication

Abstract

We use this paper as a worked example of the rrxiv active-replication pattern. We register five empirical claims about preprint discoverability, each currently under independent replication by a designated group. The registered claims, the pre-registration timestamps, the replication teams, and the expected completion dates are all encoded as structured annotations on this paper's CIR. The intent is to demonstrate how the rrxiv annotation layer carries replication state in machine-readable form, so a third party can compute a paper's live replication status without scraping author web pages.

Claims (7)

Each registered assertion in this paper is addressable as a claim node, with its own replication and contradiction record.

Preprint titles longer than 12 words receive 18% less cross-domain attention (median, n=4,800 papers).

Replicated

Adding a structured abstract correlates with 22% higher click-through from search results.

Untested

Domain experts cite within their own subfield 4x more than cross-domain.

Untested

Section-level retrieval beats whole-paper retrieval on recall@5 for narrow technical queries.

Untested

The reproducibility-budget signal is stable across three independent reannotation rounds (Krippendorff's alpha = 0.79).

Untested

Author ORCID coverage above 70% is necessary (but not sufficient) for accurate cross-paper deduplication.

Untested

Pre-registering a replication target shifts the median completion time forward by 6 weeks vs unregistered replications.
