Hallucination check

Citrue

Citrue validates your citations so they do not hallucinate. Upload a references.bib file or a folder/zip that contains your .bib and .tex files, then verify each citation against Crossref. We flag missing metadata, low-confidence matches, and references that do not exist.

When you use LLMs to draft papers, it is easy for bibliographies to drift. This helps you validate that every citation is real.
