The value of an article or thesis is only as strong as the accuracy of the sources it relies on. In recent years, especially with the spread of text-generating AI tools, the number of non-existent or misattributed references has increased.
An invalid DOI, a misspelled author name or a source that was never published can cause serious problems in peer review. This is why systematically verifying the bibliography before submission is important.
During verification, each source should be matched against reliable academic indexes, DOIs should be checked for validity, and formatting consistency should be ensured. Automated tools speed up these steps and catch errors that might be missed.
