You can automatically verify academic references in a .docx file by using a hybrid Python and AI sub-agent approach that parses citations and performs double-control web searches to check factual accuracy against online sources.
Double-control verification employs two independent rounds of AI sub-agents to cross-reference extracted citations against online sources, increasing the accuracy and reliability of the reference validation process.
Yes, the verification process generates a detailed Excel table containing parsed reference fields and verification status, alongside a Zotero-compatible RIS file for direct import into citation managers.
Yes, the extraction, parsing, and AI-driven validation of scholarly references rely on Python dependencies like python-docx to read .docx files and openpyxl to generate the final Excel output.
The best way is to run an automated AI-driven validation check that cross-references every citation against its source, outputting a summary of identified issues to flag discrepancies in authors, years, titles, or publication details.
The process is limited to parsing references from .docx documents and depends on web search availability via Sonnet sub-agents, meaning it cannot verify offline sources or citations embedded in PDF or LaTeX files.
