Share and verifyLimits and conditions

Sharing and verification:limits and conditions.

What a Record lets recipients conclude, what needs live access, and how sharing is controlled.

What a Record does not prove

Correct measurements: A signature shows the Record has not been altered. It does not show that measurements or sample labels were correct.
The manuscript text: A Record covers what SciGround checked. It does not certify statements written elsewhere.
Re-registered data: SciGround does not detect when the same observed data are registered again as a new study.
Scientific objectivity: Re-verification relies on an expected digest and status obtained from SciGround over an authenticated connection and on a pinned verifier. It shows the recorded checks hold; it is not an independent judgment of the science.

Current status needs a connection: Offline checks confirm what held when the Record was issued. Whether it is still current requires an authenticated status check; when that is unavailable, the status is reported as unknown.
Full re-verification needs the inputs: Recipients need the referenced data and inputs to repeat every check. What cannot be checked without them is stated.

Links point to one version: A shared link refers to a fixed Record, not to “the latest result”.
No public directory: Records are not published in a public directory, and links are not emailed automatically. Links that open without an account are always time-limited and created only by the owner.
