       For every --check-xyz option, there are the following corresponding related options:

       The check options are:

         --check-authors
                           Check if the author names comply with the COD name

                           Check if the bibliographical information referring to

                           the chemical formula syntax requirements. This check
                           uses a simple syntax that does not take into account
                           things such as chemical element types, chemical element
                           order, etc.
