1# RIGHTS AND ETHICS23- **Source**: 277 PDFs of *The Journal of Finance* (Wiley / American Finance Association), volumes 72–75, obtained on 2026-11-03 through the Université du Québec en Outaouais library subscription (proxybiblio.uqo.ca) for research use by a subscribing faculty member. Access is personal and institutional; the PDFs are **not redistributed**, not committed to git, and never modified.4- **Derived artefacts kept private** (gitignored): structured full texts (`data/derived/parsed/`), fixtures containing excerpts, raw engine outputs. **Committed artefacts** contain only metadata, counts, structural annotations, paraphrased summaries, short excerpts (≤400 characters) inside the retrieval index units, and aggregate profiles.5- **External API exposure**: annotation calls send bounded excerpts (abstract, introduction paragraphs, conclusion paragraphs, first paragraph of each section, table notes ≤350 chars, captions ≤300 chars; total ≤ 60,000 characters per document, `config/rights.yaml`) to the Anthropic API under the account's standard data terms; no full article is ever sent in one call; every call is logged. No fine-tuning is performed.6- **Originality**: the engine is instructed never to reuse sentences; every output is screened for 8-gram overlap with the corpus; results are reported (H5). The system learns *conventions*, not wording, and does not claim Journal of Finance endorsement.7- **Evaluation ethics**: tasks use verified material (published abstracts/structures, the author's own WP29); no fabricated finance findings are presented as real; outputs are proposals that a human must verify (FLAGS). Human raters were not available; LLM-judge results are labelled as such.8- **Research integrity statement for WP45**: all counts, tables and figures are produced by scripts from recorded data; API costs and model versions are logged; the preregistration was frozen before the runs; the full retrieval index and annotations can be regenerated from the PDFs with `make`.9
