Common questions and troubleshooting
How do I check an AI-generated reference list?
Compare every entry with a source you actually consulted. Verify author order, title, publication details, URL or DOI, and the required citation style. Remove invented details rather than accepting a complete-looking entry. A reference list is not evidence that the sources support your argument.
