Features
Check that each paper really says what you cite it for.
For every sentence and its citation, PaperQED finds the most relevant passage in the paper and labels the match. Every label comes with the verbatim quote, where it sits in the paper, a short reason and a confidence level.
What it looks like
What you get
- Four labels: Supports, Partially supports, No evidence, Contradicts.
- Catches claims that go further than the source, like “proven” where the paper says “may”.
- Every quote is checked to exist word for word in the source text.
- The reason and confidence level show how sure the check is, so you know where to read more closely.
How it works

Step 1: Pick a cited sentence
Choose a sentence and the paper it cites.
-
Step 2: The passage is found
PaperQED searches the full text or abstract for the closest passage.
-
Step 3: Label with proof
You get one of four labels, the verbatim quote with its page, and a confidence level.
More features in this group
- Get a source suggested for every sentence that needs one. PaperQED finds the sentences in your draft that state a fact without a citation and suggests papers that back them, each with the passage that matters. Pick one and the in-text citation and bibliography entry are added in your citation style.
- Catch fake and wrong references before your supervisor does. Paste your bibliography or upload a DOCX, PDF, BibTeX or RIS file. Every entry is matched against real scholarly records and gets one of four clear statuses.
- Know when a source has been retracted, or isn't what it seems. Every verified reference is checked for retractions, corrections and expressions of concern, and gets a source card: journal quartile, indexing, citation count, age and source type.
- See which sentences still need a source while you write. The claim detector reads your draft sentence by sentence and underlines factual claims that have no citation yet, much like a spell checker underlines a typo.
- Hand in proof, not promises: the Citation Integrity Report. One PDF sums up the whole check: how many references, their status, retractions, source quality, claims without a citation and the claim–source results. Attach it when you submit your thesis.
- The same checks inside Word or Google Docs. Most theses are written in Word. The add-in brings the claim detector, citation search, claim–source checks and citation insertion into a sidebar next to your document, signed in with the same account.
