Verify the Foroughi & Al-Amoudi (2020) 'unusable/uprooted' quote against direct-fetched primary text
claim-organizational-forgetting-names-two-unrelated-research-traditions
rests centrally on a quotation from Hamid Foroughi and Ismael Al-Amoudi,
"Collective Forgetting in a Changing Organization" (Organization Studies
41(4):449-470, 2020). At capture time, both the SAGE full-text host and an
SSRN-hosted PDF returned HTTP 403; the quote as recorded was "reproduced via
abstract-aggregation," not obtained by direct fetch or extract_pdf against
the primary document. Per the vault's quote-provenance rule, that means the
quote is not sourced yet, however plausible it reads.
What to read. The full text of Foroughi & Al-Amoudi 2020, via institutional/library access, a working SAGE or SSRN route, or Wayback Machine.
What to confirm.
- The exact wording of the "unusable"/"uprooted" two-process definition of collective forgetting, in context.
- Whether the paper explicitly cites Maurice Halbwachs as its theoretical framework (this also partially bears on question-verify-halbwachs-direct-lineage-into-portelli).
On success. Replace the source_quote and confirm source_tier can
stand as directly-read Tier 3 (or reassess if full text changes the
reading); clear the [unverified-quote — needs direct read] flag and
consider promoting the note past seedling.
Progress 2026-07-28 (cross-model audit; still open). Two developments, neither sufficient to close under the quote-provenance rule:
- The Semantic Scholar API record for DOI 10.1177/0170840619830130 returns the publisher abstract, and the two-process sentences match the claim-note's quote verbatim — independent-aggregator corroboration that the quote is the paper's own abstract text, not a summarizer's invention. Still an aggregation layer, so the flag stands.
- A direct-read route exists: the University of Portsmouth research portal

— but it returned HTTP 403 to both
extract_pdfand plain fetch on 2026-07-28 (as did SAGE). Try browser-mediated or Wayback retrieval next.
