Biomedical Citation Checker for PubMed-Linked References

Check biomedical references against PubMed-oriented metadata and inspect whether the returned paper context matches the research claim.

Try an example:

LitSource opens the verification workflow to compare existence, DOI, title, author, year, and source metadata.

Metadata matching

Compare title, author, year, DOI, and source metadata before a reference reaches a manuscript.

Database-backed checks

Use traceable checks across scholarly metadata sources instead of relying on a generated citation string.

Review-ready risk labels

Separate citations that look acceptable from references that need review, replacement, or manual confirmation.

Preview

Paste references, inspect metadata matches, and continue into a citation verification workflow.
