检测AI生成论文中的假引用,一键验证文献真伪
CheckIfExist: Detecting Citation Hallucinations in the Era of AI-Generated Content
- 用CrossRef/Semantic Scholar/OpenAlex三库联动验证引用真实性
- 支持单条和批量验证,秒级返回可信引用格式
- 开源免费,适合科研人员快速筛查论文参考文献
大语言模型在学术工作流中的普及带来了引文完整性挑战,尤其是虚假引用——生成看似合理但实际不存在的参考文献。已有研究发现,甚至顶级机器学习会议如NeurIPS和ICLR的论文中也存在AI伪造引用,凸显了自动化验证机制的紧迫性。本文提出「CheckIfExist」,一个开源的基于网页的工具,通过CrossRef、Semantic Scholar和OpenAlex三大学术数据库进行多源验证,实现引文真实性的即时检测。现有参考文献管理工具虽能组织文献,但无法实时验证引用真伪;商业检测服务则常设使用上限或收费高昂。本工具采用级联验证架构,结合字符串相似度算法计算多维匹配置信度,提供即时反馈。系统支持单条引用验证及BibTeX批量处理,可在数秒内输出经验证的APA引用格式与可导出的BibTeX记录。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The proliferation of large language models (LLMs) in academic workflows has introduced unprecedented challenges to bibliographic integrity, particularly through reference hallucination -- the generation of plausible but non-existent citations. Recent investigations have documented the presence of AI-hallucinated citations even in papers accepted at premier machine learning conferences such as NeurIPS and ICLR, underscoring the urgency of automated verification mechanisms. This paper presents "CheckIfExist", an open-source web-based tool designed to provide immediate verification of bibliographic references through multi-source validation against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex scholarly databases. While existing reference management tools offer bibliographic organization capabilities, they do not provide real-time validation of citation authenticity. Commercial hallucination detection services, though increasingly available, often impose restrictive usage limits on free tiers or require substantial subscription fees. The proposed tool fills this gap by employing a cascading validation architecture with string similarity algorithms to compute multi-dimensional match confidence scores, delivering instant feedback on reference authenticity. The system supports both single-reference verification and batch processing of BibTeX entries through a unified interface, returning validated APA citations and exportable BibTeX records within seconds.
