Citation-Grounded Answers

Grounded in your selected literature, eliminating AI fabrications. Full traceability from synthesis back to the source publication. Generate publication-ready insights you can trust and verify.

How Citation Grounding Works

Every answer from the AI Research Assistant is grounded in your selected papers:

  1. Source Selection: Only papers you've selected from search results are used as context
  2. Citation Attribution: Every claim in the answer is linked to specific source papers
  3. Verification: You can click on citations to read the original source and verify claims
  4. No Hallucinations: The AI only uses information from your selected papers, preventing fabrications or unsupported claims
Benefits of Citation Grounding

Citation-grounded answers provide:

  • Trust: Every statement can be verified by checking the source paper
  • Transparency: Full traceability from synthesis back to original publications
  • Accuracy: No AI hallucinations or unsupported claims
  • Publication Ready: Insights you can confidently use in your own research
  • Reproducibility: Others can verify your conclusions by checking the same sources
Reading Citations

Citations in answers are formatted as:

  • Inline Citations: Direct links to source papers within the answer text
  • Paper References: Complete bibliographic information for each cited paper
  • Clickable Links: Click citations to view full paper details or access the original publication

Best Practices
