Citation Verification

Resolves citations against public databases to label them VERIFIED / RETRACTED / HALLUCINATED (heuristic matching; internet required).

How to use

  1. Paste DOI(s) or text that contains DOI(s).
  2. Run the check and review each item status (VERIFIED / RETRACTED / HALLUCINATED / NEEDS REVIEW).
  3. For anything marked “Needs review”, open the source link and verify manually.

Common questions

What does VERIFIED mean?
The identifier resolved to a matching record in a public source. Always confirm the citation matches your claim and context.
What does RETRACTED mean?
A retraction signal was detected for the resolved record. You should avoid citing it as supporting evidence without careful review.
What if I do not have a DOI?
Results are best with DOI(s). Without identifiers, the tool may mark items for review rather than guessing.
