Citely is an academic citation tool that checks whether the references in a paper actually exist and point to the right work. You paste a reference list or a claim, and Citely cross-checks it against large scholarly indexes such as CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, and OpenAlex, flagging fabricated DOIs, mismatched titles, and the hallucination patterns typical of AI-written references. It also works in reverse as a source finder: give it a claim and it returns real, citable papers with verified metadata in APA, MLA, or Chicago format.
