Full Text Evidence — Machine Record

Direct answer

Full Text Evidence — Machine Record is implemented as a source-bounded machine record guide.

Answer contract

Apply the machine record lens only to the exact inspected source scope; do not infer authority from adjacent topics.

Evidence and exact locators

t23-fulltext-contract — lib/source-recovery.ts — compileRecoveryPackets. Supports: Keeps access, inspection, locator, identity, and version states separate.

pmc-oai-full-text-t9 — https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/oai/ — living API documentation inspected 2026-09-06; set=pmc-open; metadataPrefix=pmc and pmc_fm; OAI PMC identifiers. Supports: The API exposes metadata for PMC items and full text for records whose licenses or usage rights allow reuse; set=pmc-open identifies retrievable full-text items.

pmc-copyright-t9 — https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/about/copyright/ — modified 9 September 2025; Restrictions on systematic downloading; Open Access Articles; Author Manuscripts; Digitized Articles. Supports: PMC identifies authorized bulk interfaces and distinguishes OA-subset licences, author manuscripts, public-domain records, and traditionally copyrighted free-to-read articles.

What the evidence does not establish

Full-text access alone does not establish relevance, rights, or support.

API retrieval does not prove claim relevance, inspection, version equivalence, or that every PMC item permits reuse.

Free access is not the same as an open licence. Third-party figures may carry separate rights, and systematic main-site downloading is prohibited.
