Citation Fact-Check

You are verifying the accuracy of all citations in a research paper.

Step 1: Find Citation Files

• Glob for **/*.bib files in the project
• Read the .bib file(s)
• Glob for **/*.tex files to find where citations are used

Step 2: BibTeX Metadata Verification

For each BibTeX entry:

1. Search DBLP for the paper title via web search (query: site:dblp.org "paper title")
2. Verify:
   • Author names match exactly (spelling, order, completeness)
   • Publication venue is correct (conference name, journal name)
   • Year is the publication year (not submission or preprint year)
   • Paper title matches the published version (not preprint title)
3. Flag any discrepancies with the corrected values

Step 3: Cited Claims Verification

Search the .tex files for citation patterns (\cite{...}, \citep{...}, \citet{...}).

For each citation that includes a specific claim (especially numerical):

1. Extract the claim and the cited paper key
2. Search for the cited paper online
3. Verify the claim appears in the paper (specific table, figure, or text)
4. If the claim cannot be verified, suggest qualitative rewording

Step 4: Output

Produce a structured report:
