How it works

citecheck

When your agent uses it

Use when the user asks to "verify citations", "check references", "validate paper citations", or "evaluate reference relevance". It extracts references from LaTeX/PDF papers, checks formatting rules, verifies existence via Crossref / Semantic Scholar / OpenAlex / PubMed / arXiv / dblp / Google Scholar / WebSearch, and scores thematic/semantic relevance.

# CiteCheck — Paper Citation Verification

## Overview

CiteCheck verifies academic paper citations by combining structured parsing with agent-native LLM evaluation. It supports LaTeX source files (preferred) and PDF fallback.

## Workflow

1. **Parse paper**: Call `citecheck` CLI to read LaTeX (preferred) or PDF, extract references and body text
2. **Format check**: Call `citecheck` CLI to validate bibliography entries
3. **Queryability verification**: Call `citecheck` CLI to verify existence via Crossref / Semantic Scholar
4. **Evaluate thematic relevance**: Evaluate directly using the agent's reasoning capabilities — compare cited paper title/abstract/venue against the citing paper
5. **Evaluate semantic accuracy**: Evaluate directly using the agent's reasoning capabilities — compare in-text citation context against cited source content
6. **Generate report**: Aggregate all results into a Markdown report
