reference-verifierlisted

Comprehensive academic reference auditor that performs four levels of verification on citations in uploaded manuscripts (.pdf, .docx). Level 1 checks if references actually exist. Level 2 verifies metadata accuracy (authors, year, journal, volume, pages). Level 3 checks whether the cited paper actually covers the topic it is cited for. Level 4 analyzes whether each citation is used correctly in context — confirming if the cited source truly supports, contradicts, or is neutral toward the claim being made. Saves a BibTeX file (.bib) and a markdown audit report (HTML optional) in the current working directory. Use whenever the user uploads a manuscript and asks to check, verify, validate, or audit references, citations, or bibliography, generate a .bib file, detect fake or hallucinated references, check citation accuracy, verify citation context, or audit a reference list. Especially tuned for biomedical/PubMed-indexed literature but works for any discipline.

# Reference Verifier & Citation Auditor Performs a comprehensive 4-level audit of academic references in uploaded manuscripts. Goes beyond simple existence checks to verify metadata accuracy, topical relevance, and contextual correctness of each citation. ## The Four Verification Levels ### Level 1: Existence Verification > Does this reference actually exist as a real publication? ### Level 2: Metadata Verification > Are the authors, title, year, journal, volume, issue, and pages correct? ### Level 3: Topical Relevance > Does the cited paper actually discuss the topic it is being cited for? ### Level 4: Contextual Accuracy > Is the citation used correctly? Does the source truly support, contradict, or remain neutral toward the claim made in the manuscript — matching how it is presented? --- ## Workflow ### Step 0: Parse the Manuscript 1. Read the uploaded document from `/mnt/user-data/uploads/` 2. Extract TWO things: a. **The reference list** (bibliography section at the end) b. **The full manuscript text with in-text citations preserved** — this is critical for Levels 3-4 For each in-text citation, identify: - The citation marker (e.g., `[1]`, `[Smith 2023]`, superscript number) - The surrounding sentence/paragraph (the **citation context**) - What claim is being made at that point - How the citation is framed (e.g., "Smith et al. demonstrated...", "consistent with previous findings [3]", "in contrast to earlier reports [7]") Build a **citation map**: a str
