Extract structured data from any research paper in under 30 seconds β€” with every result linked to the exact sentence it came from. Scholarify does two things exceptionally well: it pulls the fields you need out of academic PDFs, and it gives you Elara, an AI companion who helps you actually understand what you are reading. EXTRACTION YOU CAN VERIFY Upload any digital PDF. Choose what to extract. Get structured results in about 30 seconds β€” each showing the verbatim passage from the paper, the page number, and a confidence score. Confirm what is right. Flag what is not. You stay in control. SIX RESEARCH TEMPLATES Academic, Medical, Business, Legal, Engineering, and Social Science β€” each with fields tuned to that discipline. Or add your own custom fields for anything the templates miss. WHAT SCHOLARIFY EXTRACTS Research question, methodology, sample size, key findings, limitations, main conclusion, funding source, citation count β€” and any field you define yourself. MEET ELARA, YOUR RESEARCH COMPANION Ask Elara anything. She explains complex methodology in plain language, breaks down statistical terms, discusses papers section by section, and helps you think through your own research design. She responds in your language and adapts to how you talk. Elara does not write your research. She helps you understand it. FULL EXTRACTION HISTORY Every extraction is saved automatically. Return to any paper and pick up exactly where you left off. BUILT FOR Graduate students working through dozens of papers. Researchers running systematic literature reviews.

[VeriCite β€” Academic Citation Verifier] AI writing tools are powerful, but they hallucinate. Fabricated paper titles, invented authors, non-existent DOIs β€” these "hallucinated citations" look convincing but lead nowhere. VeriCite automates the tedious manual verification process, cross-checking multiple authoritative academic databases in seconds. [KEY FEATURES] β–Έ Citation Verification Paste any citation in any format (APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver, etc.). VeriCite automatically detects DOIs and PMIDs, queries databases in sequence, and returns a verification status with a confidence score (0–100). β–Έ Batch Verification Paste multiple citations at once. VeriCite splits and verifies them in parallel, with real-time progress tracking and a confidence score distribution chart. β–Έ OCR Scan Input Point your camera at a bibliography page or pick an image from your photo library. The Vision framework extracts the text and feeds it directly into the verification pipeline β€” no typing required. β–Έ Field-by-Field Diff See exactly where your citation diverges from the database record β€” title, authors, year, journal β€” all flagged clearly so you know precisely what's wrong. β–Έ Export in Multiple Formats Export your verification history as plain text, CSV, BibTeX, APA, MLA, or Chicago β€” ready to paste into your paper or import into any reference manager. β–Έ History & Spotlight Search All results are stored locally. Filter by status, re-verify any entry, and find past results instantly via iOS Spotlight search. [DATABASES CHECKED] β€’ CrossRef β€” 150M+ records, primary source β€’ PubMed / NCBI β€” medicine & life sciences β€’ Semantic Scholar β€” 200M+ papers β€’ OpenAlex β€” 250M+ records, strong humanities & social science coverage [PRIVACY FIRST] No account required. No personal data collected. All history stays on your device. Citation content is only sent to the academic APIs listed above β€” nothing else. [IDEAL FOR] β€’ Researchers conducting literature reviews β€’ Graduate and undergraduate students writing theses β€’ Academic editors and fact-checkers β€’ Anyone using AI writing assistants 【Privacy Policy & Terms of Use】 Privacy Policy: https://static.tinyomnibus.me/tinyomnibus_english_privacy_policy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Additional Terms of Service: https://static.tinyomnibus.me/tinyomnibus_english_terms
