Citation Safe

Verify medical literature citations

Paste text containing PubMed IDs (e.g. "PMID: 9500320"), DOIs (e.g. "doi:10.1056/NEJMoa2035389"), or clinical trial numbers (e.g. "NCT04368728"). We check each one against a live public source, flag retracted papers and withdrawn or terminated trials, and report exactly what we found — including citations we cannot check yet (bare Vancouver-style journal citations with no identifier).

No card required for free tier. Free tier is shared with Citation Safe: 3 verifications/mo.

Med Cite Safe is a citation-verification workflow tool, not medical or legal advice, and no professional or physician-patient relationship is created by using it. It checks that cited literature exists and whether it has been retracted — it does not evaluate clinical claims. See /disclaimer.
