CiteTrue Citation Finder searches academic databases for papers related to claims in a draft or a research topic.
What it does
CiteTrue Citation Finder helps researchers and students look for academic sources from a passage of writing or a topic. For a draft, users can paste a sentence, paragraph or longer section and choose whether to search its individual claims separately or treat the passage as a single topic.
The tool derives search terms and queries Google Scholar, Crossref and OpenAlex. It presents ranked papers with details such as authors, publication year, venue and citation count, plus a DOI or publisher link for opening the source. Users can inspect the papers themselves to decide whether they support the claim they intend to cite.
Two topic-based views offer another starting point: Latest research surfaces recent papers, while Must-read classics highlights frequently cited foundational work and reviews. Results can be exported as CSV, PDF or BibTeX, with a choice of citation styles. The finder accepts non-English text and topics and supports changing the literature search language. A daily free credit allowance is available, with paid subscriptions for higher usage.
