Check every reference of a LaTeX paper against real scholarly records before you submit. No LLM guessing, no false accusations.

Language models invent references, and copy-pasted BibTeX carries wrong years, wrong authors and dead DOIs. paper-preflight reads your .tex and .bib files and asks Crossref, dblp, arXiv, DataCite, PubMed and OpenAlex (and Semantic Scholar, if you have a key; Open Library for books without a DOI; GitHub, PyPI, CRAN, Hugging Face and OpenML for software, models and datasets) about every cited work:

  • Does it exist?
  • Does it match what you wrote?
  • Has it been retracted?
  • Has the preprint you cite been published since?

When it cannot tell, it says so instead of guessing.

Status: 0.x releases, on the way to a stable 1.0. False positives are the bugs we most

want to hear about: please open an issue.

The repository's demo paper cites eleven works, several of them wrong on purpose. A real run, against the live sources:

$ paper-preflight check examples/demo-paper
paper-preflight 0.8.0 · main.tex · 12 entries, 12 cited keys

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
