Students, researchers and academic writers checking a thesis, paper or essay before submission.
About Check Your Draft
Check Your Draft is a browser-based pre-submission checker for students, researchers, and academic writers. Users upload a PDF or paste text to review references against eight scholarly indexes, including Crossref, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, OpenAlex, DBLP, Google Books, and Open Library. The service flags references as verified, hallucinated, or outdated and can identify metadata problems and preprints with published versions. A combined report also highlights sentences classified as AI-written, mixed, or human; these are review signals, not proof of authorship. Additional tools include BibTeX cleanup, citation updating, DOI lookup, and single-reference checks. The product does not rewrite drafts or submit them to a shared plagiarism database. Users can preview scan results free; full reports are available through one-time purchases.

IntelliResearch
IntelliResearch is an all-in-one AI research assistant that turns a single query into a complete research workflow. From one search it runs multiple specialized agents in parallel: paper discovery across arXiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed and DBLP together; an AI literature review synthesized only from the retrieved papers, with every claim cited to its source; a comparative analysis table; research gap analysis; and a proposal generator that exports a formatted PDF. It also finds datasets, code implementations, patents, conferences and calls for papers with deadlines, and grants (NSF, NIH). Additional tools include a citation knowledge graph, a chat-with-your-PDF reader, saved collections, one-click translation, and email alerts for topics you monitor. Built for researchers who want to spend time thinking, not juggling eight browser tabs.

Referencer
Referencer is a GNOME application to organize documents or references, and ultimately generate a BibTeX bibliography file. It is designed with the scientist/researcher in mind, and "document" may be taken to mean "paper" in general, although Referencer can deal with any kind of document that BibTeX can. Chief among Referencer's capabilities is the automatic acquisition of bibliographic information (metadata) for some kinds of documents. Upon adding a PDF file to a Referencer library file, it will automatically be searched for key identifiers such as a DOI code or arXiv identifier. If either of these is found, Referencer will attempt to retrieve the metadata for the document via the internet. However, metadata fetching for newer additions to arXiv is broken because of the change of format. Import from BibTeX, Reference Manager and EndNote. Referencer will automatically retrieve arXiv, PubMed and CrossRef metadata for PDF documents which have arXiv ID or DOI code.

CiteDash
CiteDash is an AI-powered research and writing platform designed to streamline the entire academic workflow by combining source discovery, analysis, drafting, and citation into a single system. It enables users to enter a research topic, essay prompt, or question, after which a multi-agent pipeline automatically searches across numerous academic databases, including sources like Semantic Scholar, PubMed, and OpenAlex, to identify, evaluate, and synthesize relevant literature into a structured draft with inline citations. It emphasizes accuracy and credibility by grounding every claim in verifiable academic sources, avoiding hallucinated references, and ensuring that outputs are traceable to real studies. CiteDash supports a wide range of academic tasks, including essay writing, research papers, literature reviews, and exam preparation, offering tools such as AI-generated notes, structured outlines, and active recall question generation to reinforce learning.
