What scholars are saying

  • When writing course papers I always worried about wrong citation formats and unreliable sources—especially material grabbed off the web. CiteTrue checks in seconds whether each citation actually exists and whether the source is accurate, and even flags the questionable ones. Now I run everything through it before submitting, and I feel far more at ease.

  • A doctoral thesis easily runs to hundreds of references—checking them by hand is simply unrealistic, especially now that many reviews are laced with AI-generated content. CiteTrue verifies them all in one batch and caught several citations that did not exist at all, sparing me from being caught out by reviewers or even retracted. For me it is a tool that saves time and saves my neck.

  • I use CiteTrue to check the papers my students submit, and within minutes it surfaces citations that do not hold up—or are outright fabricated. In an age where AI writing is everywhere, this kind of verification matters more than ever. It has become an indispensable tool for upholding academic rigor and mentoring my students.

  • As a journal editor I handle a huge volume of submissions every day, and citation fraud is one of the hardest things to catch by hand. CiteTrue lets me filter out manuscripts with bogus references right at the initial screening and keep the genuinely solid research, greatly improving both the efficiency and quality of review. It is now standard equipment in our editorial office.
