alterlab-citation-verifier

From the author

Verifies that every bibliography entry actually exists by cross-checking Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv (no API key required) plus doi.org DOI registration, fuzzy-matching title and authors (difflib ratio >= 0.70), flagging retractions recorded by Crossref (including Retraction Watch data) or OpenAlex, and emitting per-entry JSON verdicts in the AlterLab citation-hallucination taxonomy (TF/PAC/IH/PH/SH); a companion script scores whether a cited abstract supports a claim (SH). Accepts BibTeX, DOI/arXiv lists, or pasted references, and reports unverified instead of passing anything it could not check. Use when the request mentions verify citations, check references, fabricated or hallucinated references, fake DOI, retraction check, bibliography audit, reference existence check, or whether a source supports a claim. For drafting a manuscript prefer alterlab-paper-writer; for dead hyperlinks prefer alterlab-link-health. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
