citation-verification
From the author
Verify that every reference in a manuscript really exists and matches its metadata, catching hallucinated, corrupted or mismatched citations before submission. Use when checking a .bib file or reference list, after an AI assistant drafted citations, when a DOI may point to the wrong paper, when adding missing DOIs, or before camera-ready. Queries Crossref, OpenAlex and arXiv; zero dependencies.
