AI analyzes the meaning of your text to find the most relevant academic papers as citations.
Per-Sentence Analysis
Breaks your text into sentences and finds targeted citations for each claim or statement.
Score Ranking
Each suggested citation includes a relevance score so you can prioritize the best matches.
