Plagiarism Checker & AI Writing Detector for Academic Excellence
Check text similarity across billions of academic sources, analyze potential AI-generated text, and verify scholarly citations with clear, transparent reports. Engineered for students, lecturers, and researchers in Nigeria and beyond.
Three Essential Tools for Scholarly Integrity
CiteRight bridges the gap between text originality, synthetic content analysis, and proper bibliographic citations in one unified workflow.
Plagiarism & Source Matching
Compares your draft against indexed academic publications, journals, and web pages. Generates an objective similarity index with highlighted matching passages and direct external source links.
AI Writing Pattern Detection
Evaluates perplexity and burstiness to detect text generated by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or DeepSeek. Provides probability scores alongside a clear explanation of false-positive nuances.
Citation Support & Verification
Identifies missing references and validates in-text citations against your bibliography across APA, MLA, Harvard, and Chicago styles to prevent accidental citation omissions.

Institutional licensingImportant Note on AI Detection Limitations
AI content detection is a probabilistic statistical estimate based on perplexity (predictability) and burstiness (variance). It is not deterministic proof. CiteRight advises educators and institutions to never discipline students solely based on an AI probability score, but rather to use reports as a basis for pedagogical discussions and draft version review.
Transparent Pay-As-You-Go Credit Pricing
Pay only for the documents you check. No recurring subscriptions, no foreign currency cards needed, and no expiring credits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CiteRight text similarity, AI detection, and academic privacy.
How does CiteRight calculate document scan credits?
CiteRight charges 1 Credit per ~500 words (equivalent to approximately 2 double-spaced pages). When you upload a PDF or Word document, our extraction engine counts the exact word count and displays the precise credit requirement before you confirm the scan.
Do purchased credits ever expire?
No. All purchased credits remain safely in your wallet indefinitely. There are no monthly recurring membership fees and no expiration dates.
Are uploaded student documents published or shared publicly?
Never. Your manuscripts, research papers, and assignments are processed in isolated encrypted storage. CiteRight never resells, publishes, or submits your academic work to third-party public indexing repositories.
How accurate is the AI Content Detector?
CiteRight evaluates statistical text predictability (perplexity) and sentence structure variance (burstiness). While highly effective at identifying standard AI phrasing from ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, AI detection is probabilistic. It should always serve as an analytical indicator, not definitive proof of academic misconduct.
What payment methods are supported in Nigeria?
Via our secure Paystack integration, we support all Nigerian debit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Verve), direct bank transfers, USSD, and Apple Pay.
