Citation Integrity Quick Check
Paste a manuscript paragraph and check for citation-risk signals before submission.
This is a wording check that runs entirely in your browser. It flags sentences where a human should look — it does not read the cited papers and does not decide whether a claim is true. Nothing is uploaded.

What this checks
- Uncited claims — a checkable scientific claim with no nearby citation.
- Citation pile-ups — many citations grouped on one claim.
- Vague evidence wording — "studies show", "evidence suggests", "well known".
- Strong certainty language — "proves", "confirms", "always", "gold standard".
- Broad claims — a cited claim that may reach beyond the evidence's population or setting.
- Guideline-type claims — "recommended", "standard of care", "first-line".
- Numeric claims — percentages, hazard/odds ratios, p-values, survival rates.
What it can't do. Heuristics see wording, not evidence. They cannot open the cited
paper, and a clean result is not a clearance. Checking whether a source actually supports a claim is the
full CiteVahti audit.
