About this audit

Review consistency without assuming one style guide

Reference lists assembled from multiple databases often mix DOI formats, repeat sources, omit dates, and use inconsistent identifiers. This general bibliography checker focuses on cross-style integrity signals rather than imposing APA, MLA, or Harvard punctuation.

The audit is useful before choosing a final output style or importing references into a manager. It does not replace subject-specific checks for editions, archival collections, legal citations, datasets, or other specialized sources.

Three-step workflow

Run a focused reference check

Paste the full bibliography.
Review completeness, DOI, metadata, and duplicate findings.
Export the report or copy the deduplicated list.

01Parse locally

Your reference text is separated and normalized inside the browser.

02Resolve identifiers

Only detected DOI names are sent for public Crossref metadata lookup.

03Compare evidence

Registry titles, years, identifiers, and text similarity become review findings.

04Keep editorial control

The report flags uncertainty instead of silently inventing missing source details.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about Bibliography Checker

Which citation styles are supported?

The general audit accepts mixed styles because it checks identifiers, dates, duplicates, and metadata rather than style-specific punctuation.

Can I check a bibliography without DOIs?

Yes. Entries without DOIs still receive completeness and duplicate checks.

Can I export the findings?

Yes. The report can be downloaded as CSV and the cleaned reference list can be copied.
