Pre-submission citation check

Catch a fabricated citation before your marker does.

Drop in your finished essay below. Solas finds every in-text citation, checks each against CrossRef, OpenAlex, Google Books, and Unpaywall, and flags any source that doesn't appear in any academic registry — including the ones AI quietly invented. You'll know in 90 seconds which citations are solid and which to fix, plus a downloadable report to keep for your records.

Create your free Solas account.

One tap with Google and the audit's yours — free, forever, no payment details. Your account is just so we can save your audits and tell you when Solas Pro launches.

Source Alignment

What is this?
— Alignment

What this means: Source Alignment is the percentage of your citations whose claims are faithfully supported by what the cited source actually argues. Markers downgrade most heavily for misused or overstated citations — improving Alignment is the fastest route to a better mark.

    Catch fabrications as you write

    The Solas Chrome extension cites your sources as you save them, verifies each one in real time, and warns you the moment a paper doesn't check out.
