yes, I still use it to download, now I'm sharing too 😀

If you’re involved in peer review, editorial work, or academic integrity, feel free to try CERCA and share it within your network. It's open source & community-driven
. The source code is available on GitHub: github.com/lidianycs/ce... Contributions and feedback are very welcome!

This weekend, I've added a new feature on CERCA:
Manual Reference Entry. If it cannot read your PDF, you can now paste the reference list directly and proceed with the analysis. It's available for download on SourceForge now.
sourceforge.net/projects/cer...

Unfortunately, this is no longer an isolated issue. Last week, reports indicated that NeurIPS, one of the world’s leading AI conferences, accepted papers containing 100+ AI-hallucinated citations. This problem is growing rapidly as generative tools become widespread in academic writing.

it's on SourceForge now
sourceforge.net/projects/cer...

A Laís Martins tb está escrevendo bastante sobre esse tópico:

Isso aqui também é essencial:
Criação de um Polo de Ciência Aplicada, Tecnologia e Inovação em IA (CATIA)

The code is still available on Github. github.com/lidianycs/ce...
Remembering that you still need to download #JavaFX (I recommend Azul Zulu) to run the tool.

CERCA stands for Citation Extraction & Reference Checking Assistant. It is an open-source research tool for verifying bibliographic references in scientific manuscripts. It's on SourceForge. Now you can automatically download your OS version.

Esses projetos precisam ser discutidos urgentemente

You're welcome. Almost done. I need to test it before releasing it😬

Que pelo lindo!

But you don't need "AI" to detect AI-hallucinated citations, you can use tools like CERCA, it's open and free:
github.com/lidianycs/ce...

as an aside, you don't need "ai" to detect ai, you can use tools like this.

it does use some probabilistic parsing to extract the citation strings, but it's creating context you can use to evaluate citations rather than pretending to have an authoritative answer

They're selling a paid platform, but you didn't need AI to check that. I've created a tool to help reviewers spot this problem easily. It's open and free:
bsky.app/profile/lidi...

Thanks for sharing it Anthony. I saw an ad today for an AI subscription platform that promises to check the references costing €14 EUR/month for start.

CERCA doesn't use AI and the files are parsed locally, you don't need to upload the papers. The code is also openly shared on github.
