How CiteRight Works
From upload to official report: a transparent, multi-stage pipeline designed for scholarly integrity and complete pricing transparency.
Document Upload & Format Parsing
Upload your research paper, thesis, assignment, or journal draft. CiteRight supports Adobe PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Word (.docx), and plain text (.txt) files up to 25MB. Text is securely extracted and stripped of hidden unicode artifacts.
Automated Word Counting & Cost Transparency
Our engine accurately counts the words in your manuscript. Scan credits are calculated at exactly 1 Credit per ~500 words. You review the exact credit cost before confirming, so there are never any unexpected charges.
Plagiarism & Web Index Search
The document is decomposed into n-gram shingles and compared against billions of public web pages, open-access research repositories, and published academic papers to identify verbatim text overlaps and paraphrases.
AI Writing Pattern & Burstiness Analysis
Simultaneously, the linguistic classifier measures token perplexity and sentence length burstiness to determine if paragraphs exhibit the statistical cadence of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or QuillBot.
Interactive Side-by-Side Report
Review matching text passages in an interactive split-screen viewer. Compare your manuscript against the original indexed web source, check author URLs, and identify citations that require attribution.
Export Official Downloadable PDF
