Reference checker

Verify references before they weaken the paper

A clean reference list helps readers trust the work. Review source metadata and duplicates before peer review.

Reference metadata

Reference errors often hide in small details: author order, publication year, journal name, DOI, issue number, or article title.

Reference integrity

Citation Checker separates verified records from records that need manual review, so the bibliography is easier to prepare.

Recommended workflow

Use reference review when the manuscript is close to submission.

  • Run Citation Review after references are close to final.
  • Fix DOI and metadata mismatches first.
  • Review duplicate records before final formatting.
  • Run a final pass after major bibliography edits.

Verify the reference list before peer review

Prepare a cleaner bibliography for a submission-ready manuscript.
