ChatGPT Citation Checker
Check AI-generated references before you submit your work.
Why ChatGPT citations need a checker
ChatGPT can invent papers or mix details from different sources. A reference that looks like APA is not proof that the paper exists. Check the underlying record before citing it.
What we verify
This page opens the same checker as our fake-references page. Paste your AI reference list to check for fabricated titles, DOI or PMID mismatches, and missing or unverifiable records. Biomedical database coverage is limited; a suspicious or missing match is a signal to investigate. Authors remain responsible for final citation decisions.
How to use: paste → review → decide
Open the checker, paste one reference per line, and review the matched records and warnings. Read the original sources before deciding which references to keep or replace.
