We present ClaimPortal, a web-based platform for monitoring, searching, checking, and analyzing English factual claims on Twitter. We explain the architecture of ClaimPortal, its components and functions, and the user interface. While the last several years have witnessed a substantial growth in interests and efforts in the area of computational factchecking, ClaimPortal is a novel infrastructure in that fact-checkers have largely skipped factual claims in tweets. It can be a highly powerful tool to both general web users and factcheckers. It will also be an educational resource in helping cultivate a society that is less susceptible to falsehoods. While it currently focuses on politics-related tweets, it will be extended to include more general factual claims.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
