Verify every reference against real academic databases — and find the sources you're missing
Paste a claim or paragraph and Citely returns matching academic papers with verified metadata, ready to cite in APA, MLA, or Chicago style.
Submit a reference list and Citely tests each entry against scholarly databases, marking entries that cannot be confirmed or that point to the wrong work.
Citely targets the specific errors AI models make when inventing references, including chimera citations, invented DOIs, and citations that drift across years.
Checks run against CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, and OpenAlex, so verification reflects real indexed scholarship rather than a single narrow database.
High-efficiency open-weight and hosted reasoning AI powered by DeepSeek-V4 and R1 at ultra-low token costs.
Leverages a sparse Mixture-of-Experts architecture (49B active parameters out of 1.6T on V4-Pro) to process up to 1 million tokens with minimal latency and memory overhead.
Pioneered by DeepSeek-R1 and integrated into V3.2 and V4 thinking modes, exposing step-by-step self-verification for complex math, logic, and code debugging.
Drops input token costs to $0.003/1M on Flash and $0.022/1M on V4-Pro for cache hits, with 50% lower rates during off-peak UTC hours.
Provides free access at chat.deepseek.com and on iOS/Android with document uploads, reasoning mode, and web search without paywalling core models.
Provides stronger multi-modal reasoning and agentic tools, but lacks DeepSeek's ultra-low-cost API pricing.
