Verified
A reference can be presented as verified when it can be matched consistently to a traceable scholarly or publisher record.
Needs author confirmation
A reference with incomplete or conflicting metadata is flagged rather than silently corrected into a plausible-looking record.
Unverifiable
A citation that cannot be traced is not treated as a legitimate source simply because it resembles one.
