LitSource
Find PubMed-backed citations and verify biomedical references
About LitSource
LitSource helps biomedical writers find real, PubMed-backed citations for the claims in their manuscripts and verify references they already have. Users paste a claim, research question or draft sentence and the tool searches biomedical literature for supporting or opposing studies, cross-checking DOIs, PMIDs, journals and reference details against sources such as PubMed and CrossRef. It also accepts non-English input, helping researchers reduce fabricated citations before submission.
