Hi Product Hunt! I'm the maker of RefCheck, from AILatest Studio.

AI writing tools are fast, but they also invent references that look completely real. Students, researchers and editors are now spending hours checking citations by hand, or worse, not checking at all.

RefCheck does the checking for you: paste a list in any common style and each reference is verified against public scholarly databases. You'll see what's real, what has errors, what's likely fake, and what's been retracted, plus the correct citation and a free full-text link.

Try it free, no sign-up for 5 references a day. New accounts get 100 credits.

I'd love your feedback: what citation styles or databases should we add next?
