Anti-Hallucination Engine
Real CrossRef DOI Verification & Fake Source Replacement
AI writing tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Jasper) frequently hallucinate citations by generating real-sounding author names and fake DOI strings, or inventing titles that have never been published.
1. Real Papers with Broken DOIs
When a reference is genuine but the DOI is 404, malformed, or pasted from an un-normalized PDF, our engine matches author + title against CrossRef to restore the exact canonical DOI URL.
2. Completely Fabricated AI Citations
When a source has 0% literature match (completely made up), our engine extracts the subject topic and searches CrossRef/OpenAlex to recommend verified, peer-reviewed replacement studies you can legitimately cite.
Every upload runs against the full National University and APA 7 editorial standard.

Validates all DOIs live against the CrossRef registry; flags 404s and mismatches.

Dr. Kevin Valentine, Ph.D.
Ph.D. Psychologist · Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP) · National University Alumni & Dissertation Evaluator
Dr. Valentine designed and codified the Report Checker engine after guiding candidates through rigorous academic evaluations and psychoeducational report defenses. Having navigated the demanding committee process firsthand at National University, he built this platform to eliminate the subjective friction, endless revision cycles, and technical rejections that stall graduate researchers.
Every algorithmic verification rule is modeled on real committee evaluation standards โ combining strict APA 7 publication guidelines, live CrossRef registry validation, and the institutional criteria of university Subject Matter Expert (SME), Academic Rigor (AR), and Dissertation Sequential Evaluation (DSE) rubrics.
