Your manuscript stays local. The engine returns evidence. You decide. Read how it works ↗

Every reference is asked of thirteen registries.

No single catalogue is complete. StrictCite compares what each source actually returns before it raises a disagreement.

A reference check should show its working.

Sometimes every part of a citation looks familiar, but the parts belong to different papers. A badge cannot show you that.

StrictCite shows where each field leads and what fails to resolve. It does not change or reject the citation. You decide what belongs in the reference.

Read the method ↗

Hover or tap the underlined parts.

Eighteen rules decide when a difference is not an error.

A preprint and its conference paper can have different years. A shortened journal title can still be correct. A registry that returns nothing has not proved that the paper is imaginary.

A correction should belong to the reference, not to one document.

Resolve a disagreement once and the decision stays with that work in your library. When you cite it again, the evidence comes with it. If the publication changes later, monitoring reopens the same record.

Figure 5. One record holds the evidence and the context you add to it: a note, a tag, and an abstract.

A reference is not settled forever.

Researcher Pro checks the papers you choose every Monday and lets you know only when the record changes.

Retractions · corrections · linked code · journal status · preprint updates

See Researcher Pro ↗

Every Monday we check the publication record for retractions, withdrawals, concerns, corrections, and errata.

We also follow linked GitHub and GitLab repositories, DOAJ journal status, and cited preprints that publish or update.

Up to three papers. You receive an email only when something changes.

Check references before peer review.

Reviewers should judge the research, not investigate whether its citations exist. StrictCite checks the bibliography at the editorial desk, so missing, disputed, or invented references return to the author before peer review begins.

  1. AuthorSubmits the manuscript.
  2. Editorial gateChecks the references and returns evidence-backed queries.
  3. ReviewerReceives the paper after citation questions are handled.
