`citation-verification`

Category: literature-review · License: MIT · Version: 1.0 · Includes scripts Tags: citations, hallucination, DOI, Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv, references, research integrity

When to use it

Verify that every reference in a manuscript really exists and matches its metadata, catching hallucinated, corrupted or mismatched citations before submission. Use when checking a .bib file or reference list, after an AI assistant drafted citations, when a DOI may point to the wrong paper, when adding missing DOIs, or before camera-ready. Queries Crossref, OpenAlex and arXiv; zero dependencies.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:

“ChatGPT wrote my references. Check that every entry in references.bib actually exists.”
