FAQPage Schema

How do I verify references in a LaTeX manuscript before submission?▼

To verify references in a LaTeX manuscript, provide your paper directory to run a full citation audit against your .bib file and TeX files. It cross-checks existence, metadata, and contextual relevance, outputting a per-entry verdict and JSON ledger.

How do I check my bibliography for hallucinated or misattributed papers?▼

Checking your bibliography for hallucinated papers involves auditing cited entries against canonical sources like arXiv, DOIs, DBLP, and ACL Anthology. The audit performs web lookups to validate metadata accuracy and ensure cited works support surrounding claims.

Can I validate arXiv IDs and DOIs in my .bib file automatically?▼

Yes, you can validate arXiv IDs and DOIs in your .bib file automatically. The tool supports checks across arXiv, DBLP, ACL Anthology, and Nature/OpenReview, performing web lookups to confirm existence and metadata accuracy for every entry.

What is the best way to audit bibliographic integrity across multiple citation venues?▼

The best way to audit bibliographic integrity across multiple venues is to cross-check each citation against arXiv, DOIs, DBLP, and ACL Anthology. This process verifies existence, validates metadata, and assesses contextual appropriateness, generating a human-readable report.

How does citation verification handle contextual relevance in research papers?▼

Citation verification handles contextual relevance by assessing whether cited works actually support the surrounding claims in your manuscript. It cross-checks the bibliographic entry against the text to ensure the cited paper accurately backs up your statements.

What does a pre-submission citation audit output for each bibliographic entry?▼

A pre-submission citation audit outputs a per-entry verdict of KEEP, FIX, REPLACE, or REMOVE for each bibliographic entry. It also generates a JSON ledger and a human-readable report detailing existence, metadata accuracy, and contextual relevance.
