Scholarly sources
Checked against four leading research databases
Every reference is resolved against independent scholarly indexes. We merge overlapping records and show which sources corroborated the match.
Crossref
Crossref
The largest scholarly DOI registry. We resolve identifiers and compare titles, authors, years, and venues against Crossref metadata.
Visit Crossref
PubMed
PubMed
The National Library of Medicine index of biomedical literature. Especially useful for PMIDs and life-science papers.
Visit PubMed
OpenAlex
OpenAlex
An open catalog of the global research graph. It helps corroborate works that may be thinly covered in a single registry.
Visit OpenAlex
arXiv
arXiv
The open preprint repository for physics, mathematics, computer science, and related fields. Deep scan is especially helpful here.

✓
Field-level verification
See exactly which metadata fields match and which drifted — title, authors, year, venue, and identifiers — instead of a single opaque score.
✓
Four independent scholarly indexes
Crossref, PubMed, OpenAlex, and arXiv are queried together, then duplicate records are merged so you can audit the best match.
✓
Catch what should not be cited
Surface fabricated citations, broken DOIs, retracted records, and author-year mismatches before they reach a reviewer.
✓
Export a clean bibliography
Copy or download corrected citations in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, or IEEE, plus a full CSV, JSON, or Excel report.
✓
Deep scan for preprints
Turn on Deep scan when the list includes recent preprints or thinner metadata. It takes longer, and it is more complete.
✓
Built for the rest of your paper
Use the same Miss Formula account for formula recognition and AI document conversion when you need equations or pages in Word.
✓

Academic workflows worldwide
Trusted by researchers who need a second look at every citation
Students, researchers, and educators use Miss Formula to verify bibliographies, recover formulas, and convert academic documents without breaking their writing flow. Users from 200+ academic institutions below are already using Miss Formula.
What academic users value
Clear verification reports, field-level mismatches, and a writing workflow that also covers formulas and documents.
I pasted my whole bibliography the night before submission and Citation Checker flagged two DOIs that did not belong to those titles. That alone saved me. I also use Miss Formula's formula recognition when I pull equations out of PDFs — it handles the messy ones better than I expected.
Citation Checker caught a preprint I had cited with the wrong year. The report was easy to scan. On the same account I convert lecture slides with the AI document converter — text, tables, the lot — so the writing stack finally lives in one place.
I used to spot-check DOIs one by one. Pasting the list and seeing verified versus needs-attention in one pass changed that. The field-level comparison is the part I actually trust.
Deep scan found an arXiv version when the journal record was still thin. I still review the report myself, but it saves an afternoon of tab-hopping across databases.
The export back into APA was the part I did not expect to need. I fixed three author-year mismatches and copied a clean list straight into my thesis.
I run student reference lists through it before marking. It is not a substitute for judgment, but fabricated or broken citations are much harder to miss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about verifying academic references with Miss Formula's AI Citation Checker.
What does Miss Formula's AI Citation Checker verify?
It checks whether each reference can be resolved in scholarly records, then compares identifiers, titles, authors, years, and venues against the best match. The report shows what matches, what drifted, and what may not exist.
Which databases does it search?
Miss Formula queries Crossref, PubMed, OpenAlex, and arXiv, then merges overlapping records so you can see which sources corroborated a match. Deep scan is useful when the list includes preprints.
How many references can I check at once?
Paste or upload up to 100 references in one check. Put each reference on its own line — references joined into one paragraph are treated as a single entry.
Is it free?
Yes. After you sign in, you receive enough starter AI credits to check references for free.
Can I export a corrected bibliography?
After verification you can copy or download the list in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, or IEEE. You can also export a CSV, JSON, or Excel report of the full check.
How does Miss Formula handle my reference list?
Your pasted reference lists are treated carefully and handled with care. They are never used to analyze or train our own models. Always open the best match record when a citation matters.
