Enter your own references or DOIs on the left and select Verify reference to check against open scholarly records.
Honest reference checking with zero data lock-in.
When AI drafting assistants suggest sources, they frequently hallucinate non-existent DOIs, fictitious authors, or scrambled publication years. TruthDraft checks candidate bibliographic entries against Crossref and OpenAlex open records so you can verify that every reference cited in your manuscript actually exists.
Verified references can be directly copied and loaded into the TruthDraft IEEE Paper Formatter to format citations according to conference standards.
How reference verification works
TruthDraft queries open scholarly registries (including Crossref and OpenAlex) using title substrings and DOIs. The verification algorithm matches metadata to determine whether a cited work corresponds to an indexed, peer-reviewed publication or preprint.
Honest limits of open records
Coverage is limited to works indexed in open scholarly registries (over 250M works). Very recent preprints, niche conference proceedings, or non-English publications without DOIs may not resolve even if legitimate. Always verify critical citations directly with the primary publisher.
Frequently asked
Reference questions.
Large language models generate text by predicting plausible sequences of words. When asked for literature or citations, they construct plausible-sounding titles, author combinations, and even fake DOIs that match the syntax of scholarly publishing but do not correspond to real publications.
We query open scholarly infrastructure including Crossref and OpenAlex. We do not store or deposit your manuscript drafts into any commercial repository.
Yes. You can copy verified references formatted in standard IEEE citation style and paste them directly into your draft or open them in our IEEE Paper Formatter.
