CERCA is an open-source JavaFX tool created by Lidiany Cerqueira to detect hallucinated or false references in scientific manuscripts. The application extracts references from PDF files and verifies them against authoritative metadata sources like Crossref, OpenAlex, and Zenodo. Built with Java and JavaFX, CERCA processes papers locally for privacy, uses libraries like CERMINE for content extraction and JavaWuzzy for fuzzy matching, and produces explainable diagnostics and reproducible reports. The tool addresses a growing problem in academic publishing where AI-generated papers may contain fabricated citations.
