SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill checks whether the claims in a paper are genuinely supported by the cited sources, preventing miscitation, factual drift, and unsupported assertions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Citation Auditing: Review every citation in a manuscript and compare the surrounding claim against the cited paper.
  • Claim Verification: Check whether specific methods, numbers, findings, or contextual statements are actually stated in the source.
  • Research Review Workflow: Use it before submission, after major revisions, or when reviewing someone else’s paper to catch unsupported prose early.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to verify the citations in your paper and report which claims are supported, partially supported, unsupported, or impossible to verify.

Frequently Asked Questions about verify-citation-claims

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify if a research paper citation actually supports the claim?▼

You can verify citations by checking the exact claim against the cited paper's sections, equations, tables, and numbers, reporting results as supported, partially supported, unsupported, or unverifiable.

What is citation auditing and when do I need it for academic review?▼

Citation auditing reviews every citation in a manuscript to compare surrounding claims against source papers, needed during academic review, revision, submission, or audits to catch unsupported prose early.

Can I check specific numbers and findings from arxiv papers against my manuscript?▼

Yes, claim verification checks whether specific methods, numbers, findings, or contextual statements are actually stated in the source paper, including arxiv preprints, preventing factual drift.

How do I audit a bibliography for unsupported assertions before submission?▼

Ask the assistant to verify the citations in your paper and report which claims are supported, partially supported, unsupported, or impossible to verify before submission.

What are the limitations of automated claim checking for peer review?▼

Automated claim checking may yield unsupported or unverifiable results when prose drifts from evidence; it requires locating each cited work to check exact claims against sections and data, which may fail if sources are inaccessible.
