Hi Product Hunt! A citation can look convincing and still point to the wrong paper. Even a valid DOI may belong to a completely different publication. I built Reference Checker to help students, teachers, researchers, and editors verify a whole bibliography and inspect the evidence behind each result. Paste a reference list, or sign in to import PDF, Word, BibTeX, RIS, and other formats. You can compare citation fields with scholarly records, review uncertain matches, detect duplicates, and apply source-backed corrections in seven citation styles. Reports can be exported as Markdown, CSV, JSON, BibTeX, or RIS. Guests get 100 reference checks per day; signed-in users get 500 daily checks plus imports, exports, saved history, and sharing. No purchase or subscription is required. An unmatched citation is a reason to investigate, not proof that it was fabricated. Every result is designed to help you review the underlying sources. Try it with a bibliography you are working on. Which part of checking references takes the most time for you? I would love your feedback.
