Education means more than teaching a student to read and write. Technology has changed the way information is gathered (Zawacki-Richter et al., 2019), and schools need a clear plan before they invest in it (Reksten, 2000).

→ How it works
01
Paste the draft
Any subject, any length up to your plan limit. Your writing runs the search and is not kept afterwards.
02
Claims matched to real papers
Each factual claim is searched against roughly 250 million indexed works. Papers that do not genuinely support the claim are discarded, and retracted work is flagged.
03
Written in, then exported
Citations are placed where they belong and highlighted, each with a note on why that source fits. Export to Word, BibTeX or RIS.
