How it works

Citation claim checker

Check whether a source really supports the sentence you cited it for.

Get a better result

  1. Paste the passage you relied on

    The check can only judge the text you give it. The results section beats the abstract.

  2. Watch the verbs

    “Is linked to” and “causes” are different claims. So are “some participants” and “students”.

  3. Keep the source's hedges

    If the source says “may”, your sentence usually should too.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste one sentence with its citation, and the source passage it relies on.

  2. 2

    AI compares them for scope, strength, certainty and numbers, and gives a verdict.

  3. 3

    It quotes the line that matters most, checked against your paste, and suggests a version of your sentence the source does support.

Good to know

It checks one sentence against the text you paste. It does not find sources, check your reference format, or read the parts of a paper you leave out. The example source is fictional.
