BCite is a bibliographic reference correction service that allows data curators to reconcile bibliographic data with existing citations available in OpenCitations and Crossref, clean bibliographic data, and generate new open citations as RDF data.
The tool includes a web interface for data entry and cleaning, a triplestore Blazegraph, and an API for interacting with OpenCitations and Crossref.
