the claim

In an electrochemical cell, the anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs and the cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that in an electrochemical cell, the anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs and the cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs?

Yes. Multiple reliable electrochemical references and textbooks confirm that in any electrochemical cell, the anode is the electrode where oxidation takes place and the cathode is where reduction takes place.
