62-phy041-claude-skill-citation-checker
separate
Verify academic citations against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex. Detects AI-hallucinated references, chimeric citations, and suspicious patterns.
When to use
- After writing or editing a `.bib` file with AI assistance
- Before submitting a paper, thesis, or report
- When reviewing AI-generated literature sections
- As a CI/CD check in LaTeX manuscript pipelines
- When auditing existing bibliographies for dead or fabricated references
When not to use
- Papers without DOI that have many derivatives (e.g., BERT without DOI) may not be found via title search alone — always include DOIs when available
- Semantic Scholar free tier rate-limits at ~100 requests/5 minutes — batch verification is slower
- Cannot verify papers behind paywalls or not indexed in any of the three databases
- Book chapters, technical reports, and grey literature have lower coverage
