Reference Checker
Verify a whole bibliography against real scholarly sources
About Reference Checker
Reference Checker is a free online tool for students, researchers, teachers and journal editors. It checks each bibliography entry against records from Crossref, OpenAlex, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, arXiv and seven other scholarly sources, catches DOIs that point to the wrong paper, flags references with no reliable match (a warning sign of AI-fabricated citations), and suggests source-backed corrections in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver, IEEE or ABNT. Up to 500 references per run, with import from PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, BibTeX and RIS.
