REFERENCE PREFLIGHT

Audit your bibliography before it reaches peer review.

Run a batch of references through evidence-backed identity verification, then separate records that are ready, need review, or may block submission.

Evidence stays attached to the record.

The original input is preserved while provider matches, field evidence, and unresolved conflicts remain visible for review.

How this workflow works

  1. 01

    Import your bibliography

    Paste references or upload RIS, BibTeX, EndNote .enw, or CSL-JSON.

  2. 02

    Review risk levels

    Separate blocking conflicts, high-risk identifiers, ambiguous matches, and low-risk verified records.

  3. 03

    Export the audit

    Download a JSON or CSV report for collaborators or editorial review.

What CiteWise checks

  • Citation identity and provider-backed metadata agreement
  • DOI conflicts, missing identifiers, and candidate near-ties
  • Parser failures, provider availability, and incomplete records
  • Recommended actions for each record

Important limitations

  • A verified identity does not prove the quality or truth of the cited research.
  • Provider outages are reported separately from records that were not found.
  • Reports are generated from completed batch results.

What is a reference preflight audit?

A reference preflight audit is a structured review before submission. CiteWise combines provider-backed identity verification, field-level evidence, candidate matches, contradictions, and parser results into an actionable risk queue.
