Verify citations

Give us your text and bibliography; we check whether each citation is really supported by its source.

No text of your own? Try an example — the first opens a ready report instantly (no quota used); the second fills the boxes.
Have the full text of closed-access sources? (optional — PDF or Word)

Upload the full text of the sources (PDF, Word .docx or .txt) — the text is extracted IN YOUR BROWSER and auto-matched to the right reference, so subscription-only sources get verified with full text too. For PDFs the evidence page is shown as well.

Paste text manually (advanced)
Use your target journal's style

Type the journal name; if its citation style is found, the corrected bibliography follows it.

Sources are verified in CrossRef · OpenAlex · PubMed · Europe PMC · DBLP · Semantic Scholar · TR Dizin · İSAM · SOBIAD (Turkish indexes) · TO-KAT (Turkish union catalog) · Google Books; content is fetched from Unpaywall · arXiv. Your text is processed only for the check and is never sent to Turnitin or any other plagiarism database. Reports are kept in My activity only for members, when “save to my account” is ticked.

Every citation gets one of four verdicts: Full match Partial match Unsupported Could not verify

How to use this tool

One step beyond the reference check: even when a source is real, does the sentence citing it actually match what the source says? Each citation is marked Full / Partial / Unsupported / Could-not-verify.

  1. Open “Verify citations” and paste your text (or upload the file) together with its bibliography.
  2. If you have the full text of closed-access sources, upload it (PDF, Word .docx, .rtf or .txt) — the text is extracted IN YOUR BROWSER and auto-matched to the right reference, so subscription-only sources get verified with full text too.
  3. Glance at the matching table: it shows which file was linked to which reference and why (DOI, or title/author). Fix any wrong link with one click.
  4. Start the run. The bibliography is verified first, then your text is split into claims and each claim is compared, by meaning, to the cited source's abstract or full text.
  5. Watch progress — a time estimate is shown; expect 1–5 minutes depending on the number of sources.
  6. Read the report: per-citation verdicts with evidence, plus a corrected bibliography. When the evidence comes from a file you uploaded it is labelled as such, and for PDFs the page is shown too (“your file · p. 7”), so you can confirm it in seconds. Download as Word or CSV, or share it via link.
