Source Checker
Paste one source or a list. BibProof checks the DOI if you have one, and otherwise the title, and shows the record it actually resolved.

Title
Three words differ from the DOI’s paper.
How it works
Three steps. The report stays on this page.
1
Drop the file
A .bib, a .tex, or the list pasted in.
2
Look up the record
A DOI is exact. A title is a search.
3
Read the row
Match, clash, or nothing on file.
Who it is for
Before you submit
The last pass on a bibliography: a dead DOI, a journal name from a different article, a year that belongs to the preprint.
A shared .bib
A lab file that has been copied forward for years. The check marks the rows that no longer describe the record.
A thesis list
Thirty entries at a time, from a .bib or the list at the end of the file.
A model-written citation
A title that was invented does not resolve. Open that row first.

Frequently asked questions
Can I check a single DOI?
Yes. Paste the DOI on its own line. A hit shows the Crossref title, year, and venue. A 404 is not found.
Does this search Google Scholar?
No. Only Crossref. A source that exists only in Scholar can come back not found.
Will you store the source I paste?
The report is stored in this browser so you can reopen the last runs. It is not uploaded.
One job: is this source a real record
A source checker is what you run when a draft, a reviewer, or a model hands you a citation and you need the record, not a summary. Give it a DOI when you have one. A DOI lookup is exact. A title lookup is a search, and the report shows the title it matched so you can see whether the search drifted onto a neighbor.
DOI checker, source finder, and source checker are the same gesture on this page. Finding a source here means resolving one you already wrote down. It does not mean searching the literature for a claim you have not sourced. If the box comes back empty, the string was too short to query.
Title, the first family name, year, DOI, and venue are set beside the Crossref record. A blank field is left unchecked.
What the resolved record is allowed to say
The record shows whether the DOI exists and whether the title, year, and venue agree. It does not read the paper.
If you only have a DOI, paste the DOI alone on its own line. The parser will pick it up. If you have a formatted reference without a DOI, leave the title intact at the start of the paragraph. Title words are what the bibliographic query is built from.
