citation-check
From the author
Audit a manuscript's citations for fabricated sources, DOIs that resolve to the wrong work, in-text and reference-list mismatches, style, and claim support, verified against Crossref and OpenAlex. Use to check citations, references, a .bib file, or DOIs.

- citation-verificationKalarisLabs/research-agent-skillsVerify 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.Science★ 61
- citecheckcolor4-alt/CiteCheckUse when the user asks to "verify citations", "check references", "validate paper citations", or "evaluate reference relevance". It extracts references from LaTeX/PDF papers, checks formatting rules, verifies existence via Crossref / Semantic Scholar / OpenAlex / PubMed / arXiv / dblp / Google Scholar / WebSearch, and scores thematic/semantic relevance.Documents★ 67
- check-citationsbrycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-SkillsVerify academic citations against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex. Detects AI-hallucinated references, chimeric citations, and suspicious patterns.Other★ 4.8K
- verify-refsAperivue/medsci-skillsUse when checking whether a manuscript's references are real. Audits each citation against PubMed and CrossRef, flags fabricated or mismatched entries and writes qc/reference_audit.json. Audit-only; never edits references or refs.bib. Citation-key checks are /manage-refs.Writing★ 349
- verify-citationsShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skillsVerifies every citation in a BibTeX .bib file against Crossref, DBLP, Semantic Scholar, and arXiv to catch hallucinated, fabricated, or incorrect references before reviewers do. Use when the user says verify citations, check references, validate bibliography, check my .bib, fake or hallucinated citations, retracted paper, or DOI check — and before any draft, rebuttal, or camera-ready leaves the machine. Flags unresolvable entries (likely fabrications), author/year/venue mismatches, duplicates, and retractions, and points to the canonical record for each fix. Every skill that writes or edits citations must route new references through this gate.Science★ 55
- 02-bib-verifyagentscope-ai/OpenJudgeVerify a BibTeX file for hallucinated or fabricated references by cross-checking every entry against CrossRef, arXiv, and DBLP. Reports each reference as verified, suspect, or not found, with field-level mismatch details (title, authors, year, DOI). Use when the user wants to check a .bib file for fake citations, validate references in a paper, or audit bibliography entries for accuracy.Science★ 888
