Removing barriers to academic integrity
CiteFirm helps you check that every citation in your paper actually supports the claim it's attached to. It then packages the result as a shareable verification record that anyone can open to see the evidence for themselves.
Generative AI hands you an answer and asks you to trust it. CiteFirm does the opposite.
It never writes your paper, never invents a source, and never declares a citation “true.” It gathers the evidence and gives you the final say — because integrity is something only a human can provide.
- 1
Extract every citation
Upload a paper as a PDF. CiteFirm reads it end to end, pulls out every in-text citation, and matches each one to its bibliography entry and source.
- 2
Decompose the claims
Each citing sentence is broken down into the individual factual claims it actually makes — so nothing gets verified in vague bulk.
- 3
You make the call
For every claim, CiteFirm finds the relevant passage in the cited source and shows it to you side by side. The verdict — Supported, Partial, or Unsupported — is always yours.
