References from a file
Upload the paper and its reference list is read out of the file. Every reference is looked up in the publisher’s record, every in-text citation is matched to the list, and for a reference that cannot stand, published sources are recommended in its place.
Every reference is looked up in the publisher’s record. No paper to hand? .

What comes back
| A verdict on every reference | Verified, doubtful, or not found in any publisher’s, registry’s or library’s record: the kind of reference AI tools invent. |
|---|---|
| Retractions and corrections | A paper withdrawn by its journal is flagged before your marker finds it, and published corrections are linked. |
| Citations matched to the list | A source cited in the text but missing from the list, or listed and never cited, is pointed out, with the place it happens. |
| A source for every gap | For a reference that cannot stand, published sources that fit are recommended, each a real record you can cite in a click. |
| The finished list | Set in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE or Vancouver, ready to paste with italics and hanging indents. |
