AI tools invent citations that look perfect and don't exist — and a fabricated reference is exactly what triggers an academic-integrity case. Paste your reference list and Kirla checks each one against real academic databases (CrossRef and OpenAlex), flagging any it can't find so you can verify it before you submit. Free, no sign-up, nothing stored. Honest by design: a source that can't be reached is marked 'couldn't verify', never 'fabricated'. It is one part of Kirla — all your writing tools in one plan.
