Academic Truth
Real-time fact-checking & auto-repair for ChatGPT citations.
Stop AI hallucinations from ruining your research. Academic Truth sits inside ChatGPT to instantly cross-validate citations with Crossref & Semantic Scholar. It flags fake papers, auto-suggests real alternatives, and exports a clean BibTeX file in one click. Perfect for researchers and students.
Hello Product Hunt community! 👋
As an avid user of ChatGPT for literature reviews, I kept running into a frustrating issue: AI Hallucinations. ChatGPT loves to invent realistic-looking DOIs, authors, and paper titles. Even worse are "Franken-references"—real DOIs wrapped around completely fake titles.
Manually checking every single citation was killing my workflow. That’s why I built Academic Truth.
🟢 Traffic Light Badges: Instantly see if a citation is verified (Green), a Franken-ref (Yellow), or completely fake (Red).
💡 Auto-Repair Engine: If a reference is fake, our system reverse-searches Semantic Scholar to suggest the actual paper you were looking for.
📑 Clean BibTeX Export: Download only the verified, clean references directly into Zotero or Mendeley.
⚙️ How to try it instantly:
1. Go to our GitHub link, click the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP". Unzip it on your PC.
2. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/
3. Enable "Developer mode" (top right).
4. Click "Load unpacked" (top left) and select the unzipped folder.
5. Refresh your ChatGPT page and watch it work!
I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or thoughts on how we can better fight AI hallucinations in academia! Thank you for your support! 🚀
