Verify Research Before You Cite It
Don't let a bad citation
sink your credibility.
60% of published findings don't hold up when retested. Peer review misses funding conflicts. Verify your citations in 2 minutes instead of 2 hours.
Bad research is everywhere. Don't let it sink you.
Up to 60% of published findings don't hold up when retested—across medicine, psychology, economics, and beyond. Worse, papers that are less likely to be true get cited more often than reliable ones. And Retraction Watch tracks over 48,000 retracted papers—many still being cited years after retraction.
Researchers have had defenses derailed by citing retracted papers. Journalists have published stories based on studies that later fell apart. One flawed citation can undo months of work and years of credibility.
You spend 10+ hours a week on literature review. You deserve a tool that vets what you're reading.
What we catch that peer review doesn't
Paper Integrity scans for the red flags that slip past reviewers—funding conflicts, methodology gaps, buried limitations, and credibility red flags.
Conflict of Interest
Who funded the research? Do the authors have financial ties to outcomes? We surface what's disclosed—and flag what's missing.
Selection Bias
Were participants chosen to favor certain results? We examine recruitment methods and sample representativeness.
Methodological Rigor
Is the study design appropriate? Are the statistical methods sound? We assess the scientific foundation.
Reporting Bias
What results were emphasized? What was buried in the appendix? We look at the full picture, not just the abstract.

Built for researchers who can't afford to be wrong
PhD candidates, science journalists, and research professionals use Paper Integrity to verify before they cite.
“Three weeks before my defense, Paper Integrity flagged a key citation—the study had been retracted six months earlier for data fabrication. That would have been mortifying to explain to my committee.”
Rachel M.
PhD Candidate, Neuroscience
“As a science journalist, I need to vet studies fast. Paper Integrity does in 2 minutes what used to take me an hour of digging.”
Marcus T.
Health Reporter
“My doctor recommended a treatment based on 'new research.' Paper Integrity showed the trial excluded patients like me. We found a better option.”
Jennifer K.
Patient Advocate
“Finally, a tool that matches my skepticism with actual analysis. The conflict of interest section alone is worth it.”
David L.
Research Analyst
“I share the social media summaries with my followers. It's helped my community become more discerning readers.”
Amara J.
Health Influencer
“I recommend Paper Integrity to all my graduate students now. After watching one student's defense get derailed by a retracted citation, prevention beats embarrassment every time.”
Thomas R.
Associate Professor, Chemistry

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before you trust an AI with your research.
How accurate is AI analysis compared to human peer review?
Paper Integrity is a screening tool, not a replacement for peer review. We identify red flags—funding conflicts, methodological gaps, statistical issues—that warrant closer examination. Think of us as a thorough first-pass that catches what hurried readers miss. The final judgment is always yours.
Is my paper content kept private?
Yes. Your submissions are encrypted in transit and at rest. We process papers solely to generate your report—we don't use them to train AI models, share them with third parties, or retain them longer than necessary. You can delete your data anytime.
What's the methodology behind the bias scores?
We analyze multiple dimensions: funding source disclosure, author conflicts of interest, sample selection methods, statistical rigor, outcome reporting completeness, and citation context. Each dimension is scored and weighted based on established research integrity frameworks. Full methodology details are included in every report.
How is this different from plagiarism checkers?
Plagiarism checkers find copied text. Paper Integrity analyzes research quality—whether a study's conclusions are supported by its methods, whether conflicts are disclosed, whether the statistics hold up. We're checking if the science is sound, not if the words are original.
Can I analyze papers I didn't write?
Absolutely. Most users analyze papers they're citing in their own work, reading for a literature review, or evaluating for professional purposes. If you can legally access a paper, you can analyze it.
Why not just ask ChatGPT about my paper?
You can — but you'll get generic answers. Paper Integrity cross-references Retraction Watch, funding disclosure databases, and citation networks. We check if a paper has been retracted, flagged, or criticized in ways ChatGPT can't see. Plus, our structured methodology catches the same red flags every time — no prompt engineering required.
