About the work
A closer look.
Send a reference list, bibliography, or .bib (PDF or plain text, up to ~40 entries). I run a citation check on every entry — DOI resolution, Crossref, OpenAlex retraction flags, and a DataCite fallback — and return a written report in 48 hours. Each entry gets one verdict: OK, CHECK, DEAD DOI, or RETRACTED, with the actual receipt behind it and a plain note on what the checks cannot see. No invented confidence. If an entry cannot be settled at that layer, it says CHECK rather than a guess. Useful before a scanner or a reviewer reads your references.
