Research workspace
Validate up to 12 DOI records against Crossref and generate draft APA-style, Harvard-style or Vancouver-style references. Enter one DOI per line. This does not inspect in-text citations or verify papers without DOIs.
About this tool
Check DOI metadata, bibliography consistency and citation styles.
How DOI reference checks work
Enter up to 12 DOI identifiers, one per line. The checker retrieves publicly accessible metadata through Crossref, flags duplicates, and builds draft reference entries. It cannot guarantee that citations are correct for a particular publisher or that non-DOI references are valid.
Worked example
For DOI 10.1038/nature12373, the tool requests the publisher-deposited title, author list and year rather than guessing bibliographic details.
Frequently asked question
Does this detect all reference errors?
No. It verifies DOI-record metadata only. Confirm page numbers, titles, author names and the target journal’s required style against original publications.
