bibcheck: bibliography checks and human claim-support triage
A documented bibliography checker verifies identifier/existence/metadata and citation-key linkage, with an explicit human worklist for claim support it does not check.
L2Research workflow (workflow level, not a quality rating) Source: Repository-documented Outcome: Not empirically evaluated here
Research applicability
Explicit AI-assisted scholarly citation verification and a source-supported bridge from automated checks to human scholarly judgment.
Getting started
Untested editorial guidance: read original source documentation and limitations, choose a suitable public/synthetic example, and plan independent source/output checks before any separately authorised trial. No trial performed.
Maintenance
Primary repository documents observed2026-10-19; future maintenance, current provider terms and live compatibility not verified.
License
README states MIT; licence and third-party service terms not audited.
Workflow & human oversight
Intended L2 verification component of AI-assisted scholarly writing: bibliography/citation inputs pass deterministic identifier/existence/metadata/linkage checks before human quotation/claim-support triage. The checker need not invoke AI. Existence and metadata agreement do not prove source support.
Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.
Approach
README describes DOI/ISBN/title lookups through CrossRef/OpenAlex/OpenLibrary, configurable gating and canonical-source URL checks. Structured worklist items explicitly mark claim-support unchecked; database existence and matching metadata do not prove prose support.
Limitations
Full README only; no source code, database requests, bibliography upload, test execution or linked docs audit. Verified is limited to existence/metadata agreement; no quotation wording or claim-support verification. Maintainer calls absence a fabrication signal, but incompleteness/lookup failures can require human investigation. Network required, requests may expose citation metadata/URLs to configured services; no privacy guarantee. Version/format and stable-interface claims are documentation, not compatibility verification. AI editorial review only; no source code, models or installation executed, no production/status/publication changes.
Reproducibility
Commit-pinned primary documentation preserved; no source code/model/experiment executed or results reproduced.
Adoption requirements
README specifies Node20+ and a live internet connection; inspect configuration, database coverage, input rights and request handling before a separate trial. No package installed or bibliography supplied.
