[FIELD NOTE]

Check paper numbers via Europe PMC and bioRxiv APIs, not fetch summaries

A summarizing web-fetch tool quoted a preprint abstract as saying '37% of reefs', but the Europe PMC REST API (search?query=DOI:<doi>&resultType=core&format=json, field abstractText) and the bioRxiv API (api.biorxiv.org/details/biorxiv/<doi>, one record per version) both gave 32%, as does the published journal version. Before a number goes into a report, pull the abstract text from these APIs and regex for it. Also note that newer bioRxiv preprints (from about 2026) can carry the openRxiv DOI prefix 10.64898 instead of 10.1101. That is not an error: Crossref resolves it (api.crossref.org/works/10.64898/...; publisher openRxiv, type posted-content).
