German citation style: do the footnote sources exist?
Footnotes and ibid. are formatting. The question next to that: does the cited work exist, and is it retracted? Quick Check reads the list. Acurio does not format footnotes.
Which job do you need?
ibid., op. cit., footnote apparatus
That is formatting. Scribbr or your chair. Acurio does not format.
Do the works named in the footnotes exist?
Paste the list. Existence and retraction, no account.
Does the footnote support the sentence?
That is the analysis. Note-family matching lives in the Run, not in this mini-check.
What this page checks
German citation style lives in footnotes. Quick Check still needs the written-out list: author, title, year, DOI if you have one.
ibid. alone is not an entry. Paste the full note or the bibliography.
K10plus and DNB in Quick Check are the DACH registries English formatters do not have.
Frequently asked questions
Does Acurio check German footnote formatting?
No. No punctuation, no footnote numbering. Existence and retraction of the named works only.
Can I paste raw footnotes?
Yes, if the full reference is in them. ibid. without a first mention is not enough.
Is it free?
Quick Check needs no account. Analysis of the thesis needs credits.
