Citea is an AI-powered research writing assistant that helps you create academic content with verified sources. You can generate outlines from prompts, draft and enrich content with AI assistance, find relevant sources from major academic databases, and verify citations to ensure authenticity and eliminate AI hallucinations.
Citea integrates with major academic databases including arXiv, CrossRef, OpenAlex, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar. Free users have access to basic databases, while paid subscribers can access advanced databases for more comprehensive source discovery.
Citea verifies citations by cross-referencing them against multiple authoritative academic databases. Our algorithms check citation details (authors, journals, years, DOIs) against real publications to detect fake or AI-generated citations. You can verify up to 1000 characters of citation text at once.
Citea's AI writing feature helps you create academic documents from scratch. Start with a prompt to generate an outline, then use the AI assistant to expand sections, adjust content, and iterate.
