crossref

To verify academic citations and find missing DOIs, the Skill matches each pasted reference against the Crossref REST API and returns canonical APA-style citation strings with DOI links for your bibliography.

Yes, you can check if references are fabricated or miscited because the Skill applies confidence and mismatch flagging rules to detect likely author and title mismatches, API errors, and weak matches instead of forcing incorrect citations.

The best way to normalize pasted citations into APA format is to trigger the markdown workflow that uses the bundled Python REST wrapper for DOI lookups or text queries, outputting canonical APA-style citation strings.

Yes, bibliography cleanup with Crossref works for large batches of social-science references because the Skill is specifically designed to handle trust-checking and DOI discovery across large reference lists in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When a DOI lookup fails or returns a weak match during reference normalization, the Skill flags the likely issue, such as a fabricated reference, author mismatch, or API error, rather than forcing a weak match.
