mcp-proto-okn: Natural-language access to open scientific knowledge graphs through the Model Context Protocol

Citation integrity

Minor revisionpanel verdict · 2026-09-01

Result: The arXiv preprint 2408.17320 is confirmed to exist and is titled "BioBricks.ai: A Versioned Data Registry for Life Sciences Data Assets." The abstract confirms it is a data registry for life sciences. The manuscript claims it contains "BioBricks toxicology graphs," but the abstract does not explicitly mention toxicology. This is unverifiable — the claim may be supported by the full paper, but the abstract does not confirm it.

Status: PRESENT, RESOLVABLE, but claim–citation support is UNVERIFIABLE regarding the specific focus on toxicology.


7. Tsueng et al. 2026 (mSystems, e0127025)

Claim in manuscript:
"NDE (NIAID Data Ecosystem) (Tsueng et al. 2026)"

Status: PRESENT, RESOLVABLE
Finding: Full citation provided: Tsueng G, Bullen E, Czech C, et al. The NIAID Discovery Portal: a unified search engine for infectious and immune-mediated disease datasets. mSystems 2026;11(2):e0127025. DOI: 10.1128/msystems.01270-25.

Note: The publication year is listed as 2026, which is in the future. The DOI format is standard for mSystems.

Status: PRESENT, RESOLVABLE — standard DOI format, though future publication year warrants verification.

Questions for Authors

  1. Kinjo et al. 2026 (bioRxiv:2026.03.19.713030): This preprint identifier contains a future date (March 2026). Please confirm the correct bioRxiv identifier and publication status. If this is an advance online publication or preprint, please provide a resolvable link.

  2. Gao et al. 2024 — BioBricks toxicology focus: The manuscript claims the BioBricks reference describes "toxicology graphs," but the arXiv abstract describes a general data registry for life sciences. Please clarify whether BioBricks specifically includes toxicology data or whether this is a characterization that should be verified in the full paper.

  3. Future-dated publications (Madrigal et al. 2026, Tsueng et al. 2026): Two references are dated 2026. Please confirm these are advance online publications or correct the years if they are errors.


Overall Assessment

Reference resolvability: 6 of 7 references are resolvable with standard identifiers (DOI or arXiv). One reference (Kinjo et al. 2026) is unverifiable due to a future-dated preprint identifier that could not be confirmed.

Claim–citation support: Most claims are plausibly supported by the references cited. One claim (BioBricks toxicology focus) is unverifiable from the abstract alone.

Severity: No HARD issues identified. Three SOFT issues flagged: the unverifiable Kinjo et al. preprint, the unverifiable toxicology claim for BioBricks, and three future-dated publications that should be verified.
