Verify your bibliography instantly or find real, claim-relevant citations with our free tool*. We cross-check every citation against 7 academic databases — and for any citation we find for you, we confirm the paper's abstract actually supports your claim, not just its title.
Paste in BibTeX, RIS, PDF, or raw text — compatible with exports from EndNote, Zotero, and Mendeley — and get results back in BibTeX, RIS, APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, or Vancouver format, ready to re-import. Don't see your format? Paste it anyway — we'll still parse it. Now includes URL verification for web sources.

Enter text and use \cite(n) to request n citations. Example: "Deep learning has improved image recognition \cite(3). Furthermore, transformers are now widely used in computer vision \cite(2)."
We found 24 citations. 2 flagged as potential hallucinations.
A 15-second look at both tools, start to finish.
Validate against OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, DBLP, arXiv, CORE, and verify live URLs for non-academic sources.
See how verification works →Need references? We check each candidate's full abstract, not just its title, and only return papers that genuinely support your claim — formatted ready for BibTeX.
Find sources for a claim →Identify AI-generated hallucinations from tools like ChatGPT. We flag fake citations and suggest real papers to replace them.
Check AI-generated citations →Built for teachers, professors, and reviewers: drop up to 30 PDFs into a single scan and get one report with a per-file breakdown of what verified.
See Bulk Verification plan →Build AccuraCite into your own tools — a plugin, a submission pipeline, a CI check for academic writing. Synchronous JSON endpoints for both verification and citation search, on Pro and Bulk Verification plans.
View API docs →Every citation you verify or find on Pro and Bulk Verification plans is saved automatically, so you can revisit past scans and re-export a bibliography without starting over.
See Pro & Bulk plans →Details other citation checkers skip, because they're the hard part.
We query all 7 databases at once and look for independent agreement between them, filling in missing details from corroborating sources — instead of trusting whichever database happens to answer first.
A matching title and author isn't enough. We separately resolve every DOI and confirm the title actually appears on the page it points to, catching stale or mismatched DOIs that metadata-only checks miss.
If we can't find a paper that genuinely supports your claim, we tell you instead of returning a loosely related one to pad the count — and we automatically refund the quota for any citation we couldn't find.

Yes. The Free plan requires a login (no anonymous usage) and includes 50 credits every month, no credit card required.
Every plan gives you one shared pool of credits instead of separate verification and finding limits, so you can spend them on whichever you need more of. A citation verification costs 1 credit; finding a new supporting citation costs 4 credits, since it takes more work — searching for and relevance-checking a real source rather than just looking one up. See the Pricing page for per-plan credit totals.
Verify accepts BibTeX, RIS, plain text, or PDF (Pro), and detects citations written in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, or Vancouver style.
We parse each reference, cross-check it against the academic databases above, and fuzzy-match the returned metadata against what you provided. If nothing matches closely enough, we flag it as unverified and suggest a real paper to replace it, instead of assuming it's genuine.
No. Uploaded PDFs are processed in memory and discarded once your verification job completes. We keep the verified citation metadata (title, DOI, etc.) to speed up future searches — see our Privacy Policy for details.
Yes, the Pro and Bulk Verification plans include REST API access. See the API Docs for endpoints and authentication.
Yes — the Bulk Verification plan lets you drop up to 30 PDFs into a single scan (handy for a teacher or reviewer checking a stack of student papers at once) and get one report with a per-file breakdown of what verified.
Most tools check a citation against one database and stop at the first match. We query all 7 sources at once and look for independent agreement between them, separately verify that DOIs actually resolve to the right paper, and tell you (with a refund) when we can't find real support for a claim instead of padding results with a loosely related paper.
