Results for “citation-check”

Verify academic citations against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex. Detects AI-hallucinated references, chimeric citations, and suspicious patterns.

Finds academic papers on arXiv, checks citation counts via Semantic Scholar, and generates BibTeX entries.

Lints native Knowledge Vault markdown against the capture-llm-wiki schema, checking frontmatter, wikilinks, and citation hygiene, and writes a report.

Verifies a claim by finding primary sources and rates the evidence as supported, mixed, unsupported, or unverifiable, with citations and what would change the verdict.

Answers factual questions by searching the web, fetching primary sources, and cross-checking claims before citing them.

Verifies that every entry in a bibliography ACTUALLY EXISTS by cross-checking it against four keyless public scholarly APIs (Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, arXiv) with a polite mailto identifier, resolving DOI/arXiv IDs, fuzzy-matching title and authors (difflib SequenceMatcher ratio >=0.70), flagging retractions marked in Crossref (update-to) or OpenAlex (is_retracted), and emitting per-entry JSON verdicts mapped to the AlterLab citation-hallucination taxonomy (TF/PAC/IH/PH/SH). Accepts BibTeX, a DOI/arXiv ID list, or free-form references; degrades gracefully offline by emitting 'unverified' verdicts and never silently passing. Use when the request mentions verify citations, check references, fabricated or hallucinated references, fake DOI, retraction check, bibliography audit, or reference existence check. Does NOT write or draft papers — for authoring a manuscript (whose citation-check mode inserts citations) prefer alterlab-paper-writer instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
