Verify citations. Generate references. Export BibTeX/RIS.
Fast, practical tools for citation verification and citation generation using DOI / PMID / ISBN / URL. When evidence is incomplete, Verifing marks items for review instead of guessing.
Free to use today (with rate limits to protect uptime). Best with DOI. PMID/ISBN/URL also supported.

Citation Verification
Verify DOI/PMID/ISBN/URL against public sources and label them VERIFIED / RETRACTED / HALLUCINATED.
Best for: checking papers, theses, and AI outputs for citation integrity
Open tool
Citation Generator
Generate citations from DOI/PMID/ISBN/URL. Export bibliography + BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON (when available).
Best for: bibliography export and citation formatting
Open tool
Plagiarism Checker
Quick similarity and duplication signals to help review originality.
Best for: originality screening and duplicate detection
Open tool
Live demo: Plagiarism checker
Paste text and run the checker. Results are evidence-first: a score, a confidence signal, and (when enabled) possible source URLs with matching snippets.
ReadyWeb/Hybrid: 2/day free
What this demo shows
- Intrinsic similarity signals (fast, consistent).
- Confidence score separate from similarity.
- When enabled: source URLs + snippets to verify manually.
Plagiarism detection is an evidence tool—not a legal verdict. Private/paywalled sources can be missed.

}Why Verifing
- Conservative behavior: unresolved items are marked “Needs review”, not fabricated.
- Academic-friendly: works best with DOI(s) and returns structured, exportable results.
- Exports for workflows: plain text bibliography + BibTeX/RIS + CSL-JSON (when available).
- Designed for speed: paste → run → copy/export results.
For students
Quickly sanity-check citations and avoid accidental misinformation.
For researchers
Resolve DOI metadata, export citations, and flag retraction signals.
For editors
Fast triage for citation integrity and text similarity checks.
How it works
1) Paste
Add DOI/PMID/ISBN/URL (one per line) or paste text containing citations.
2) Verify
We resolve identifiers against public sources (including books via ISBN when possible) and return conservative signals.
3) Use
Copy results, export BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON (when available), or follow “Needs review” items for manual checks.
Start verifying in seconds
Paste DOI / PMID / ISBN / URL, verify against public sources, and export citations when available.
No sign-up required
Privacy-first (no storage by default)
Conservative verification
Free (rate-limited), built for workflows
FAQ
Is Verifing free to use?
Yes. Verifing is free to use with rate limits to protect uptime and keep the service stable.
What does “Needs review” mean?
It means the tool could not confidently resolve a source from the provided input. It is a conservative flag—not a human review—and it’s a prompt to manually verify the reference.
What inputs are supported?
The tools work best with DOI. Many tools also support PMID, ISBN, and some publisher URLs. Use one identifier per line for best results.
Do you store my pasted text or citations?
By default, Verifing aims to be privacy-first. Inputs are sent to the API to compute results, and you should avoid pasting sensitive personal data.
