From 648e811640cda0078ec04f656fa139a452463222 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dylan Roy <249851642+d6g8k5htny-coder@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 17:42:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] docs(manuscript): qualify G6 publication verification and record sources MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Preserve r15 journal corrections and add a dated check of the three G6 references.

Both are paginated journal articles; neither needs +an article number.

The +[European Commission CORDIS results](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/740021/results) +classify the work as a 2021 preprint, 29 pages, with the same arXiv DOI. +The current arXiv abstract record supplies the title, sole author, date and +version above.

The DataCite API +request for `10.48550/arxiv.2109.08721` returned **HTTP 503**; the preprint DOI +is nevertheless explicitly supplied by arXiv and CORDIS. NASA ADS, Semantic +Scholar API and some repository full-text routes did not yield usable records +during the parallel checks.
