PoCo — a reference library, polished and completed.
PoCo (Polish & Complete) turns an inconsistent Zotero or EndNote export into a clean, consistent reference library — without ever touching your original file. It standardises journal names, DOIs, author names, page ranges and title casing, completes missing publication metadata, and flags duplicate DOIs and retraction notices, then hands you a polished copy plus a full audit trail.
The engine is deterministic by design: no LLM, no hallucination. Every proposed change is surfaced for review, where you accept, reject or edit it. I built it end to end: a Python / FastAPI engine and a React front end.
- Web-app — Open-source, no accounts, analytics or telemetry
- Source-backed completion from CrossRef, OpenAlex and Open Library
- Every change carries evidence, a confidence tier and a reversible decision
- Reproducible run manifest + CSV / JSON / HTML audit logs
