For publishers, institutions & funders

Validate the science, not just the citations.

CiteWise parses a complete document, pairs every claim with the evidence it cites, and determines whether that evidence substantiates it — identifying claims the cited paper does not support, claims predicated on retracted work, and claims citing sources with no record in the literature. Similarity screening and reference checking cannot establish any of this. It operates as a workspace your team can use today, and as an API deployable within the systems you already run.

Who this is for

• Publishers & journals. Submitted articles and scholarly manuscripts. An evidence-validation layer beneath editorial screening, reaching the failure modes that plagiarism, AI-similarity and reference-checking tools do not.
• Universities & research institutions. Theses, dissertations, faculty publications, institutional proposals, internal reports and student projects — quality control on the scientific content itself, before work is published under the institution's name.
• Funding bodies. Grant proposals, funding applications, progress reports and final scientific reports — establishing whether the claims underpinning a request are supported by the evidence cited, before the decision and throughout the award.

What it validates

• Claims the evidence does not support. The cited paper is examined and assessed against the sentence citing it. This is the case a reference check alone cannot surface.
• Claims predicated on retracted work. Every resolved source is screened for retraction and expression-of-concern notices.
• Claims citing sources with no record. Each reference is resolved against CrossRef, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and the open web.

Integration

The same pipeline underlying the workspace is available as an API, so claim validation occurs within your editorial management platform, your OJS instance, a thesis repository, a grants management system, or whatever internal tooling precedes them. Every claim is returned with its verdict, the passage the verdict relied upon, the resolved source and its retraction status — structured, so you can route and threshold it as your process requires. The integration is being designed with our first institutional partners, so endpoints and throughput are settled per agreement rather than published here.
