Interesting #preprint on automated reference-checking. It "runs entirely on [one] machine (free public databases, a single consumer GPU, and open-weights models) with no [...] external services. The pipeline verifies that references exist, checks retraction status, compares metadata against canonical records, downloads and parses cited papers, verifies that they support the claims made about them, and [...] checks cited papers' own bibliographies.
