BibTeX Verifier

In-browser verification of BibTeX entries against CrossRef and Semantic Scholar

BibTeX Verifier is a small open-source web app for checking bibliography files before submission or publication. You upload a .bib file or paste from Overleaf; each entry is matched by title to academic databases so you can spot wrong authors, years, venues, missing DOIs, duplicates, and references that do not exist in any index.

Highlights

  • Privacy-first: parsing and diffing happen in the browser; only paper titles are queried against public APIs.
  • Dual lookup: CrossRef and Semantic Scholar for broader coverage.
  • Practical output: field-by-field diffs, optional auto-updates, live BibTeX preview, and download of a corrected file.
