💡 This Skill requires requests, jsonschema, PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill verifies scholarly papers by cross-checking venue and journal credibility, publication type, and retraction/update status to generate a trusted evidence card for literature review workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated venue and ranking verification: Leverages ACL Anthology, DBLP, OpenReview, Crossref, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar to identify the true publication venue and ranking.
  • Evidence card generation: Produces a structured PaperEvidenceCard with citations and provenance for policy-compliant synthesis.
  • Operational workflows: Supports batch and interactive checks for AI/ML literature reviews and claims validation.

Quick Start

Ask the verifier to evaluate a paper by DOI or title to generate a structured evidence card.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify the credibility of a scholarly paper for a literature review?

To verify scholarly paper credibility, you can cross-check the publication venue, citations, and retraction status using sources like OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, ACL Anthology, and DBLP. This process generates a trusted evidence card capturing venue rankings and provenance.

Can I check if a paper was retracted using its DOI or title?

Yes, you can check if a paper was retracted by querying its DOI or title. The verification process cross-references multiple academic databases like Crossref and OpenAlex to confirm publication type and retraction status, producing a structured evidence card with warnings.

Does the paper reliability verifier work with AI and ML conference venues?

Yes, the verifier specifically supports AI and ML literature reviews by leveraging ACL Anthology, DBLP, and OpenReview. It applies routing logic to identify the true publication venue and confirm its ranking using local CSV data.

What is a PaperEvidenceCard and how is it generated?

A PaperEvidenceCard is a structured output that captures venue credibility, citations, retraction status, and provenance. It is generated by routing a paper's DOI or title through academic databases to produce a trusted record for policy-compliant synthesis.

Can I process multiple papers in batch for citation and venue verification?

Yes, the verifier supports batch checks alongside interactive queries for AI and ML literature reviews. You can submit multiple papers to automatically identify publication venues, confirm rankings, and generate structured evidence cards with citations.
