Match real references to a manuscript you have already written
Facts, data, methodological origins, and findings from prior work usually need citations. AI can locate these claims and retrieve candidate sources, while the author verifies the original paper and citation position.
Evaluate a candidate citation across six dimensions
Direct support
The abstract or source text should directly support the subject, relationship, and conditions in the sentence. A similar topic is not sufficient evidence.
Appropriate evidence level
Prefer empirical research or systematic reviews for claims about conclusions. Prefer original methodological papers or formal method descriptions for definitions.
Primary or secondary source
If a candidate repeats another study, continue to the original paper. When the original cannot be obtained, identify the citation as secondary.
Restrained quantity
Choose only the literature needed for the claim's scope. Multiple sources should represent different data, methods, or positions rather than duplicate the same evidence.
Suitable publication date
Claims about the current state and recent progress should include recent research. Conceptual origins and methodological starting points should retain the original sources.
Real and verifiable
Verify title, authors, year, and full text through a DOI, publisher page, or academic database. Before use, check the exact source passage behind the claim.
How to use AI citation recommendations
Open Citation Finder
Prepare the paragraph that needs citations and remove any old references already known to be wrong.
Submit the draft
Paste a complete paragraph or section, preserving the research subject, conditions, and conclusions needed for context.
Review claims that need evidence
Confirm that highlighted sentences genuinely require external support. Exclude common knowledge, the paper's own procedural steps, and the author's original results.
Inspect candidates one by one
Review candidate titles, abstracts, and sources. Open the full text and verify the subject, method, findings, and applicable conditions.
Confirm and export
Retain only sources that directly support the claim, then format in-text citations and bibliography entries for the target journal or institution.
Find candidate literature for claims with Acadwrite
After you submit an existing paragraph, the system identifies claims that need evidence and retrieves candidate literature. The author opens the source text and confirms whether it supports the corresponding sentence.
- Locate claims that require external evidence
- Retrieve candidate literature by claim
- Preserve titles, authors, and source information
- Let the author verify the original and decide whether to cite it
Frequently asked questions
Are the recommended papers real?
Candidates include source information that can be checked. Confirm existence through a DOI, publisher page, or academic database, then verify that the original text directly supports the claim.
Can I use it with a half-finished draft?
Yes. Submit paragraphs or sections in batches, preserving enough context each time to prevent a single sentence from being misinterpreted.
Will it decide which source I should cite?
The system supplies candidates. The author checks the original and decides from the support relationship, publication type, and applicable conditions.
How can Acadwrite add real citations to a manuscript?
Acadwrite identifies claims that need evidence and retrieves candidate literature. Authors verify each candidate by support relationship, publication type, date, and source location.
