Audits manuscript citations against PubMed, CrossRef, and OpenAlex to detect fabricated, mismatched, or duplicate academic references.

Verify References provides a deterministic, audit-only verification pipeline designed to prevent AI-generated reference hallucinations in scientific and medical manuscripts. By querying PubMed E-utilities, CrossRef, and OpenAlex without altering your source bibliography or manuscript files, the skill systematically cross-checks DOIs, PMIDs, publication stages, and full author lists against authoritative records. It flags fabricated citations, mismatched author rosters, duplicate identifiers, and placeholder pagination before journal submission, ensuring research integrity and complete citation accuracy.
