1	# Citation Verification Reference Guide
2
3	A reference guide for citation verification in academic paper writing, providing verification principles and best practices.
4
5	Core Principle: Proactively verify every citation during the writing process using trusted scholarly sources rather than memory.
6
7	## Core Problems
8
9	Citation issues in academic papers seriously impact research integrity:
10
11	1. Fake citations - Citing non-existent papers
12	2. Incorrect information - Mismatched authors, titles, years, etc.
13	3. Inconsistent formatting - Mixed citation formats
14	4. Missing citations - Referenced but uncited work
15
16	These issues can lead to:
17	- Paper rejection or retraction
18	- Damage to academic reputation
19	- Reviewers questioning research rigor
20
21	## Verification Principles
22
23	This skill provides verification principles based on trusted scholarly sources:
24
25	### 1. Proactive Verification
26
27	Core idea: Verify immediately when adding a citation, rather than checking after writing is complete.
28
29	- Search for the paper each time a citation is needed
30	- Confirm the paper exists in a trusted source
31	- Add to bibliography only after verification passes
32
33	### 2. Source Hierarchy
34
35	Prefer these sources:
36	- publisher page or DOI resolver
37	- PubMed for biomedical papers
38	- arXiv for preprints
39	- Crossref or Semantic Scholar for metadata cross-checking
40	- Google Scholar as a fallback discovery aid
41
42	### 3. Information Matching Verification
43
44	Information that must match:
45	- Title
46	- Authors
47	- Year
48	- Publication venue
49
50	### 4. Claim Verification
51
52	Key principle: When citing a specific claim, confirm the claim actually appears in the paper.
53
54	- Access the paper PDF
55	- Search for relevant keywords
56	- Confirm the accuracy of the claim
57	- Record the section or page where the claim appears
58
59	## Best Practices
60
61	1. Never generate citations from memory
62	2. Do not guess when verification fails
63	3. Mark unverifiable references clearly
64	4. Differentiate preprints from published versions
65	5. Verify the claim, not just the metadata
