SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill verifies whether user-provided literature references are real and accurately reported, and it detects hallucinated or fabricated citations in both English and Chinese sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reference authenticity verification: Checks existence and validates core metadata such as title, authors, venue/journal, year, DOI, ISBN, and URLs across multiple source types.
  • Identifier-based workflows: Uses DOI resolution (CrossRef/doi.org), CrossRef title/author search, and URL reachability/metadata extraction; supports books via ISBN lookups.
  • Chinese literature核查 (中文文献核查): Prioritizes CNKI direct search via Chrome CDP (MCP tools) and falls back to required multi-step WebSearch across CNKI/Wanfang/Baidu Scholar when CDP is unavailable.
  • Hallucination pattern guidance: When verification fails, it recommends relevant hallucination patterns from provided reference docs to explain likely fabrication vs metadata errors.
  • Batch reference auditing: Produces per-item verdicts and a summary table with confidence levels suitable for reference list cleanup.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to verify the reference list and return a table of confirmed vs likely real vs likely fabricated vs metadata-error results.

Frequently Asked Questions about literature-verifier

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect hallucinated citations and fabricated references in a paper?

Hallucinated citation detection verifies the authenticity of your reference list by validating DOIs, titles, URLs, and ISBNs against authoritative sources to identify fabricated academic references.

How do I verify Chinese literature references on CNKI and Wanfang?

Chinese literature verification prioritizes CNKI direct search via Chrome CDP, applying a mandatory multi-source WebSearch fallback across Wanfang and Baidu Scholar to confirm Chinese academic records.

Can I batch audit an entire reference list for DOI validation errors?

Batch reference auditing supports full reference list cleanup by producing per-item verdicts and a summary table categorizing references as confirmed, likely real, likely fabricated, or metadata-error.

Does DOI validation work for conference papers, preprints, and monographs?

DOI validation applies across journal articles, conference papers, preprints, books, monographs, dissertations, and government documents, using CrossRef and doi.org resolution to verify source existence.

Why does a citation verification fail and how are hallucination patterns identified?

When verification fails, the system recommends relevant hallucination patterns from reference docs to explain whether the failure indicates likely fabrication or a metadata error in the citation.
