Source Verifier
No citation without a traceable origin
The Source Verifier cross-checks every source against its origin — DOI, URL, archive snapshot — and flags unverifiable entries before they reach your bibliography.
Built for the way research actually happens
Every source you cite has to point to a real, reachable origin. The Source Verifier checks each source in your library against multiple signals: does the DOI resolve? Does the URL return a 200? Is there an archive snapshot on the Wayback Machine or a national repository? If a source fails every check, it is flagged as unverifiable and blocked from being cited.
This is the front line of academic integrity. Fabricated citations are one of the most common — and most damaging — mistakes a student can make. The Source Verifier catches them before the Compliance Agent even runs its final check.
Three steps, every time
- 01
Trigger verification
Run a verification pass on any source, or run it across your entire library in one go.
- 02
Review the flags
Unverifiable sources are flagged with the reason — DOI failed, URL dead, no archive snapshot.
- 03
Fix or remove
Replace the dead link, find an archived version, or remove the source entirely.
What this gives you
- Catch fabricated or dead citations before your defense
- Verify against DOI, live URL, and archive snapshots
- Run a pass on a single source or your whole library
- Every verification is logged in the audit trail
