Authorecon

Check a published record in one pass.

Paste an ORCID. You get one document: what the record says, where the work actually lives, and what disagrees between them.

Takes about a minute. Everything runs in this page — the requests go from your browser straight to ORCID, OpenAlex, Zenodo and Wikidata. Nothing reaches us, and there is nothing here to record it with.

Not covered here

  • Whether each deposited document agrees with its own record — that needs the files opened, which the full report does for you.
  • Whether outbound links still resolve — a browser cannot reach other people's servers; the full report checks them.
  • Anything that needs the deposited files read.

Nothing above is scored or graded. Each section states what was found and what could not be reached; the reader draws the conclusion, because the same fact means different things for a first-year student and a professor of thirty years.

Get the full report

The pass above reads this record in your browser. The full report reads what a browser cannot: it resolves every reference in the list — not the first 25 — follows the outbound links, and reads the deposited files. One document, checked in full and sent back to you to keep and forward.

Reference Check, $1.99. Record Report, $9.99. A whole reference list, or one author's published record, checked the way a browser cannot and returned as a document.

Try it on a reference list, free

Paste a bibliography and see it resolved against the indexes that would hold it, with what was found set beside what was written — in your browser, no ORCID and no account. A taste of the Reference Check.
