I’ve created a simple tool (with the help of AI) called Citations Cross Check. It does what the name suggests: It verifies citations have bibliography entries AND bibliography entries are cited. A few notes:

1-     It is completely free to use -unlike the likes of Recite.com etc.

2-     It has a full standalone program and Easy-to-use graphical interface for both Windows and macOS. So no Python or anything required for end users, no command lines.

3-     Year Mismatch Detection: Identifies potential year mismatches (e.g., online-first vs. final publication)

4-     Color-coded output showing three types of issues: • Missing bibliography entries • Uncited references • Potential year mismatches.

5-     It works with a lot of different citation styles (e.g., APA, APSA, Chicago author-date, IEEE), and file formats.

You can access the tool on https://github.com/okiratli/Citation-Cross-Checker . The source code is there, but you DO NOT need it. 

Simply go to Releases section on https://github.com/okiratli/Citation-Cross-Checker/releases , and download the standalone Windows (exe) or MacOS (app) version.
