Paper Preflight
Verify academic citations and paper references against authoritative scholarly databases without relying on LLM guesses.
Paper Preflight serves as a pre-submission integrity gate for academic papers, checking every cited work across major scholarly databases including Crossref, dblp, arXiv, DataCite, PubMed, and OpenAlex. Designed to eliminate hallucinated citations, copy-pasted metadata errors, and dead DOIs, it operates on positive evidence without probabilistic language model evaluations. Supporting diverse formats like LaTeX, Word, Markdown, Typst, and PDFs, it flags retractions, metadata mismatches, withdrawn preprints, and conflicting identifiers with high precision before submission.
