Evidence, not a guess
Reports are built from scholarly records and the pages it reads, and each claim carries its citation.
An AI research assistant whose sources you can open
Ask a question. CitedEvidence searches scholarly records and your own papers, then writes a report where every citation leads back to its source.
- Sources you can open
- Web, Library, or both
- Download as Word or PDF
49,000+research reports completed
9,700+documents peer reviewed
3,500+documents improved or reviewed
950+university email domains
Answers that survive being checked
Both sides of the question
Ask for the evidence against an answer as easily as the evidence for it, and see where studies disagree.
Your own papers count
Search the web, only your Library, or both, so a report can draw on the papers you already trust.
How it works
- 1
Ask your question
Type it the way you would ask a supervisor, then choose Web, My Library, or Web + Library.
- 2
Choose how deep to go
Summary answers in about a minute. Deep and Detailed read more. Agent team, on Max, runs several researchers at once.
- 3
Read, question, export
Open any source, ask follow-up questions, and download the report as Word or PDF.
Every source is one click away
The Sources panel lists what the report used. Open one to read its details and copy its citation.
- Authors, year, journal and DOI for each source
- See how many times a source is cited in the report
- Copy a citation as you read
A real team when the question is hard
Agent team plans the work, sends researchers after different parts of the question at the same time, then writes and reviews the draft.
- A lead splits the question into parts
- One researcher looks for what argues against the answer
- A reviewer checks the draft against the notes
Research assistant or general chat?
| What matters | CitedEvidence | General AI chat |
|---|---|---|
| Where answers come from | Scholarly records, web pages and your Library | Often the model's memory, with web search on some plans |
| Citations | Rebuilt from the records it found, then checked | Can look right and still be wrong, so check each one |
| Your own papers | A Library you can search as evidence | Usually a few uploads at a time |
| Output | A structured report, as Word or PDF | A chat reply to copy out |

Questions
Where does CitedEvidence search?
CitedEvidence Scholar, PubMed, Crossref, Semantic Scholar and arXiv records, the wider web, and your own Library when you choose it.
Can I use it on my own papers only?
Yes. Choose My Library, select the folders you want, and the report uses only those documents.
How long does a report take?
Summary usually takes about a minute, Deep and Detailed take a few minutes, and Agent team, on the Max plan, about 30 minutes. You can leave the page while it works.
Should I still check the output?
Yes. Citations are checked against records, but you are responsible for your own work, so open the sources that matter before relying on them.
Is there a free plan?
Yes, for paper search, notes, data collection and citations, which use no AI. AI tools and exports start with Basic.
