Supporting reliable academic citation and reference verification.
CiteVerify is a research-support platform designed to help scholars, researchers, faculty members and academic users examine scholarly references before using them in research manuscripts, theses, dissertations and academic publications.
Why CiteVerify was developed
Academic references are fundamental to scholarly communication. Incorrect, incomplete, inconsistent or unverifiable citation information can create problems during manuscript preparation, peer review and research dissemination.
CiteVerify was developed to provide researchers with an evidence-oriented mechanism for examining bibliographic identity and DOI information before research submission.
The platform assists with verification while keeping the researcher at the centre of the final scholarly decision.
Evidence from multiple scholarly sources
CiteVerify evaluates available bibliographic evidence using multiple scholarly metadata sources and DOI resolution evidence rather than depending on a single source.
Crossref
Scholarly bibliographic and DOI metadata can contribute evidence for publication identity verification.
OpenAlex
Scholarly work metadata provides an additional source for candidate discovery and bibliographic comparison.
Semantic Scholar
Available scholarly metadata can provide complementary evidence during reference verification.
PubMed
PubMed metadata can support verification for relevant scholarly publications represented in its records.
DOI Evidence
DOI resolution provides an additional evidence path when a DOI is included with a scholarly reference.
Bibliographic Identity
Publication title, author information, publication year and DOI evidence can contribute to reference identity evaluation.
Designed for reference-level investigation
CiteVerify supports both individual-reference checking and manuscript-level workflows. Supported PDF and DOCX manuscripts can be processed so bibliography entries can be identified and examined at the reference level.
Retrieved scholarly candidates are compared against available citation information. The resulting evidence helps researchers identify references that are strongly supported, require additional review, remain unresolved, or contain meaningful inconsistencies.
Clear reference verification states
Verified
Strong bibliographic evidence supports the identity of the submitted scholarly reference.
Needs Review
Available evidence is partial, inconsistent or insufficient for a strong identity determination.
Unresolved
A sufficiently reliable scholarly match could not be established from the available evidence.
Suspicious
Available evidence indicates a meaningful bibliographic inconsistency that warrants further researcher investigation.
Technology supporting researcher judgment
CiteVerify is intended as a research-support and bibliographic evidence platform. Automated verification cannot replace scholarly judgment, examination of the original publication, publisher records or other authoritative evidence.
Metadata providers may contain incomplete records, inconsistent bibliographic information or temporary service limitations. CiteVerify therefore presents evidence to support researcher review rather than treating every unavailable record as evidence of an invalid citation.
CiteVerify and NPR Publications
CiteVerify is powered by NPR Publications, Pune, India, with a focus on providing technology-supported services for the academic and research community.
The CiteVerify platform is designed and developed by Dr. Ram Kumar Solanki.
