Description
Reference Checker is an AI-powered citation verification platform tailored for researchers, students, and writers. It offers a comprehensive solution for verifying entire bibliographies by allowing users to paste references or import files in various formats such as PDF, Word, BibTeX, and more. The tool checks entries against scholarly records, helping users identify incorrect DOIs, mismatched metadata, and questionable citations.

The platform supports up to 500 references per import and provides a daily allowance of 100 checks for guests and 500 for signed-in users. Reference Checker utilizes a wide array of academic databases, including Crossref, DataCite, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, and more, to ensure thorough verification. Users can export their findings in multiple formats like Markdown, CSV, JSON, and BibTeX, making it easy to share and review results.
Reference Checker is particularly useful for university teachers who need to keep reference checks separate for each student, as well as for students and research teams who want to ensure the accuracy of their citations before submission. The tool also flags potentially fabricated citations, such as those generated by AI models like ChatGPT, by comparing citation details with publication records.
While Reference Checker excels at identifying mismatches and verifying citations, it does not automatically grade or batch process multiple documents. Users are encouraged to review flagged records before making academic integrity decisions. Additionally, the tool requires selectable text for PDF imports, and scanned PDFs need OCR processing elsewhere.
