SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validate and fact-check research claims and citations against primary sources to detect fabrication and ensure evidence integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-check DOIs with CrossRef and OpenAlex to verify metadata and resolve titles/authors/venues.
  • Detect fabricated DOIs, no-DOI candidates, duplicate references, and mismatches to support auditability.
  • Produce a structured per-reference verdict envelope with confidence scores and cross-check details.

Quick Start

Paste a list of references and instruct the agent to verify citations against trusted sources using the VERIFY framework.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-verification

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify research citations and check for fabricated DOIs?▼

Verify research citations by cross-checking provided references against CrossRef and OpenAlex, resolving DOIs to flag fabricated entries and ensure evidence integrity. The process returns a structured verdict envelope with per-reference confidence scores.

What is the VERIFY framework for fact-checking research claims?▼

The VERIFY framework is a structured methodology to fact-check research claims against primary sources. It resolves DOIs, handles no-DOI cases gracefully, and cross-references duplicates to produce auditable per-reference verdicts.

Can I validate references that do not have a DOI assigned?▼

Yes, you can validate references without a DOI. The verification process handles no-DOI cases gracefully by cross-checking available metadata against OpenAlex and CrossRef to detect mismatches and support auditability.

Does citation verification work with both CrossRef and OpenAlex metadata?▼

Yes, citation verification cross-checks references with both CrossRef and OpenAlex. It queries these trusted sources to verify metadata, resolve titles, authors, and venues, and produce confidence scores for each reference.

What is the best way to detect duplicate references during evidence verification?▼

The best way to detect duplicate references is using a verification framework that cross-references entries against OpenAlex and CrossRef. It handles duplicates gracefully and flags them in a structured per-reference verdict envelope.
