How to use this tool
Paste the paper text and reference list into their separate fields. Choose the citation system and separator, run the check and review each flagged match in context.
What to check
Pattern checks can miss unusual formatting and can flag legitimate exceptions. The result does not verify that sources are real or that quotations are accurate.
Does this check whether a source supports my claim?
No. Read the cited source and verify the relevant passage yourself. Citation matching is different from evaluating evidence.
