Still, what about citations of articles that themselves contain hallucinated citations? It's a food chain problem.

I guess what I’m saying is the checking should be more… accessible? And less costly, hence machine automatable. This would increase the quality of journals that, for whatever reason, don’t do enough human verification, and it would allow bigger journals to do deeper checks “down the chain” with the same labor.
