AFAIK, no, but I could see there being cause to push citations to also cite the validations. It'd be good if standard practice turned into something like Paper A, by bob, bill, brad. Validated by Paper B by carol, clare, charlotte. or Paper A, by bob, bill, brad. Unvalidated. | ||||||||

Academics typically use citation count and popularity as a rough proxy for validation. It's certainly not perfect, but it is something that people think about. Semantic Scholar in particular is doing great work in this area, making it easy to see who cites who: https://www.semanticscholar.org/ Google Scholar's PDF reader extension turns every hyperlinked citation into a popout card that shows citation counts inline in the PDF: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-scholar-pdf-... | ||||||||
