Identify the Following with the Reference Quality Report
Retracted References
Protect the credibility of your research, increase chances of getting published, and avoid peer review critique with our AI-generated report that identifies retracted references.
Unverified
Improve your citation credibility by eliminating citations that are not found in citation databases.
Old References
Effortlessly recognize references published long ago to guarantee that your citations are highly pertinent and valid.
Journal Overuse
Detect inadvertent bias toward a specific journal and prevent peer review criticism by diversifying your reference sources.
Good-to-use References
Easily identify all the references which do not have any quality and credibility-related issues, making them fit to be cited in your manuscript.
Perfect Your Citations with AI
Explore our AI-powered Reference Quality Report
Our Reference Quality Check categorizes your references into four risk categories, giving you a thorough analysis. It provides an overall score and highlights the references needing review.

Retracted: 4 citations out of 41 High Risk
A retracted reference is one that was published by a journal but is later recalled for research quality, integrity, or other ethical reasons. You should never refer to a retracted paper as that seriously impacts the credibility of your argumentation.

Published Long Ago: 30 citations out of 41 Medium Risk
An old citation is one that was published over 10 years before the year of creation of this report. Journals prefer newer citations as they reflect the current status of research on the topic. Note that some old citations may be seminal works and hence would be acceptable (groundbreaking works).

Unverified: 1 citations out of 41 Medium Risk
We could not verify these citations using standard citation databases such as Crossref. This can happen due to a variety of issues, such as incompleteness of the citation databases, non-standard nature of the citations (e.g., personal communications or Wikipedia links), and so on. Please double check the citations under this category to ensure you are citing appropriate references to avoid peer review critique.
