Review student references using publication evidence.

Hallucite compares references with available publication records and shows metadata differences and publication notices for review. Verdicts concern the reference; they do not establish authorship or intent.

02 / Verification scope

What we check — and what we don't

Every verdict is limited to what the evidence supports. Hallucite verifies the reference record without making claims about authorship or intent.

What Hallucite checks

Publication matches: available records support the cited work.
Identifier integrity: compare the cited DOI or PMID with the publication it resolves to.
Metadata consistency: compare authors, year, journal and title.
Publication notices: show available retraction and correction evidence.

What we don't do

We don't score whether your text was written by AI.
We don't yet judge whether a source supports the specific claim it's attached to.

An unresolved reference needs review

The completed lookups did not establish a publication match. Missing coverage, incomplete metadata or a source outage may explain the result. Check original publication records before drawing conclusions; this result does not establish authorship or intent.

Designed for academic integrity review

1
Bulk-paste a reference list
Paste a bibliography in a supported citation style. Review the returned evidence for flagged and unresolved entries.
2
Plain-language verdicts for every citation
Results show publication matches, metadata discrepancies and unresolved entries, with available evidence and publication notices. Use the details to guide further review.
3
Publication evidence for further review
An identifier or metadata mismatch is a finding about a reference. Review the original publication and discuss the discrepancy before drawing conclusions. A verdict does not establish who wrote the text or why the error occurred.

How we measure and what remains uncertain

Hallucite makes deterministic, versioned verification decisions and shows the evidence for each flag. Hosted in the EU.

Coverage gaps, incomplete metadata and source outages can leave a reference unresolved. Review flagged entries: a missing match does not prove fabrication, and a verdict does not establish authorship or whether a source supports a claim.

Benchmark results are still to come and will be published after review.
