AI Hallucination Citation Audit

Protect Your Manuscript from Fabricated References

Overview

AI writing tools like ChatGPT frequently generate citations that look real but do not exist, a growing cause of desk rejection, post-publication retraction, and editorial misconduct flags. Our expert editors verify every reference in your manuscript against live academic databases (PubMed, Scopus, CrossRef, Web of Science) and replace or flag any ghost, misattributed, or hallucinated citations before you submit.

What We Check

  • Every in-text citation verified against real database records

  • DOI validation and full bibliographic accuracy check

  • Detection of misattributed author names, volume numbers, and page ranges

  • Duplicate and self-plagiarized reference identification

  • Final clean reference list in your required citation style (APA, Vancouver, IEEE, etc.)

Why It Matters

  • Journals now screen for fabricated citations using automated tools

  • Hallucinated references are an ethics violation regardless of intent

  • Protects your reputation and guarantees submission integrity

Who Should Use This

  • Authors who used AI tools at any stage of manuscript writing

  • Researchers submitting to high-impact SCI/SSCI-indexed journals

  • PhD scholars and postgraduates finalizing thesis reference lists

Pricing

• Up to 40 references — $39

• 41–80 references — $65

• 80+ references — $89

AI Use Disclosure & Ethics Compliance Statement

Stay Compliant. Stay Published.

Overview

Every major journal — Nature, Elsevier, Wiley, Springer, BMJ, and more — now requires authors to declare how AI tools were used in research and writing. A missing or incorrectly worded AI disclosure is a fast track to desk rejection or post-acceptance withdrawal. Our experts write a precise, journal-specific AI use statement alongside a full ethics compliance checklist so your submission meets current editorial standards with zero ambiguity.

What We Prepare

  • Customized AI disclosure statement aligned to your target journal's policy

  • CRediT authorship contribution statement

  • Data availability statement (open access / repository-linked)

  • IRB/ethics approval reporting check

  • Conflict of interest and funding acknowledgement formatting

Why It Matters

  • Journals are increasingly rejecting manuscripts with vague or absent AI disclosures

  • Incorrect disclosures trigger editorial misconduct investigations

  • Saves revision cycles caused by ethics-related author queries

Who Should Use This

  • Any author using ChatGPT, Grammarly, Copilot, or similar tools in manuscript preparation

  • Researchers unsure of their journal's current AI policy

  • Authors submitting to high-impact or open-access journals

Predatory Journal Detection & Expert Journal Matching

Submit Smart. Get Published in Journals That Matter.

Overview

Submitting to the wrong journal wastes months and can permanently damage your academic credibility. Predatory journals that fake impact factors and charge publication fees without real peer review are increasing rapidly. Our PhD editors evaluate your manuscript and identify 3–5 verified, scope-aligned target journals — ranked by impact factor, acceptance rate, and fit — so every submission counts.

What We Deliver

  • Predatory journal screening against DOAJ, Beall's List, and Scopus/Web of Science indexes

  • 3–5 journal recommendations ranked by impact factor (Q1–Q4) and author fees

  • Scope-fit analysis: your manuscript matched to journal aim and scope

  • Average peer review timeline and acceptance rate for each journal

  • Submission checklist tailored to your top recommended journal

Why It Matters

  • Over 15,000 predatory journals are actively recruiting submissions

  • Wrong journal choice leads to desk rejection, wasted APC fees, or retraction

  • Targeted submission reduces time-to-publication by months

Who Should Use This

  • First-time authors unsure of suitable journals

  • Researchers who have faced repeated desk rejections

  • Authors looking to upgrade from low-impact to Q1/Q2 journals

Research Visibility & Academic Impact Optimization

Make Your Published Work Reach the Readers It Deserves.

Overview

Publishing a paper is only the first step. Without a strong academic online presence, your research goes unread — and uncited. Our experts optimize your complete digital academic profile and create science communication assets that maximize your paper's visibility across databases, researcher networks, and social media — directly boosting citation counts and grant-application impact.

What We Deliver

  • Google Scholar profile setup and optimization

  • ResearchGate profile creation and paper upload support

  • ORCID ID registration and publication linking

  • Abstract and keyword enrichment for search discoverability

  • 1 LinkedIn science communication post written from your paper

  • 1 Twitter/X thread summary (optional)

  • Altmetric score guidance and Mendeley optimization

Why It Matters

  • Papers with optimized online profiles receive 3× more citations on average

  • Funding agencies now evaluate altmetrics alongside impact factors

  • A complete ORCID and Google Scholar profile strengthens future grant applications

Who Should Use This

  • Early-career researchers building their academic profile

  • Authors who recently published but lack an online research presence

  • PhD scholars approaching thesis defense and faculty job applications

Lay Summary & Policy Brief Writing

Communicate Your Research to the World Beyond Academia.

Overview

International funding agencies (NIH, ICMR, Wellcome Trust, European Research Council) and leading open-access journals now require plain-language lay summaries as part of the submission or grant reporting process. Our academic writers translate your complex findings into clear, compelling narratives that engage non-specialist readers, policymakers, and the public — without sacrificing scientific accuracy.

What We Deliver

  • 250–400 word lay summary written for a non-specialist audience

  • Policy brief (1–2 pages) linking your findings to real-world implications (on request)

  • Hospital/clinical press release version (on request)

  • Optimized for journal plain-language summary sections and funder dashboards

Why It Matters

  • Open-access mandates increasingly require lay summaries for publication

  • Funders use lay summaries to evaluate societal impact in grant renewals

  • Increases your paper's reach to policymakers, journalists, and patient communities

Who Should Use This

  • Grant-funded researchers required to report findings in plain language

  • Authors publishing in open-access journals (PLOS, BMC, Frontiers, etc.)

  • Clinical and public health researchers targeting policy impact

Preprint Strategy & Repository Submission Service

Publish Faster. Build Priority. Accelerate Citations.

Overview

Preprints on bioRxiv, medRxiv, SSRN, and arXiv are now a standard part of the academic publishing pipeline — they establish priority, attract early citations, and signal transparency to journal editors. But formatting mistakes, wrong repository choices, and premature disclosure can backfire. Our experts manage your entire preprint strategy from formatting to live DOI registration.

What We Deliver

  • Repository selection guidance (bioRxiv, medRxiv, SSRN, arXiv, ChemRxiv, SSRN)

  • Preprint-specific formatting and metadata optimization

  • Embargo strategy advice — what to post vs. what to withhold before journal submission

  • DOI registration support and ORCID linking

  • Simultaneous journal targeting strategy aligned with preprint policy

Why It Matters

  • Preprints receive citations months before formal publication

  • Most top journals now accept simultaneous preprint posting

  • Poor preprint strategy can conflict with journal embargo policies

Who Should Use This

  • Systematic review and clinical trial authors wanting early visibility

  • Researchers in fast-moving fields (AI, genomics, clinical medicine)

  • Authors building a track record before PhD defense or grant applications

Post-Publication Correspondence & Defense Writing

Your Paper Is Published. The Conversation Has Just Begun.

Overview

After publication, your research may receive letters to the editor, post-publication peer review, or editorial queries — all requiring precise, professional, high-stakes responses.
