ChatGPT plugin

Audit, verify, cite papers

View in ChatGPT directory

Audit a whole reference list in one request - up to 25 entries, each checked for fabrication and retraction, returned as a per-entry verdict table. Verify whether a single citation is real - it cross-checks the claimed title and authors against the actual record at the identifier, catching the common pattern where a real DOI is paired with a fabricated or mismatched title. Resolve a DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv ID, ISSN, or ADS bibcode into a clean, formatted citation in Vancouver, APA, AMA, IEEE, CSE, or any of 10,000+ CSL styles. Check whether a paper has been retracted, corrected, or had an expression of concern raised. Works in Codex too: ask the coding agent to verify the references in a manuscript or .bib file while it works. Results show in a citation card with the verdict, the formatted reference, and the source identifier. $0 - no account and no API key required.
