Academic Reference Checker

⚠️ Important: This tool is designed to identify potential citation issues and should be used as a preliminary screening aid rather than a substitute for manual verification. Users should review all flagged items against the original document and verify their accuracy before making any changes.

Pick the matching in-text citation style below before running the check: Author–Date for APA, Harvard and Chicago Author-Date; Numeric for IEEE, Vancouver, AMA, ACS, Nature and Chicago Notes-Bibliography (bracketed [1] or parenthetical (1) citation numbers); or Author–Page for MLA (e.g. (Smith 23)).

💡 Tip: For the most accurate results, paste body text and references separately into each box. The auto-split option uses algorithmic detection which may include/exclude sections differently than your intended selection.
