From error detection to correction—it's that simple.

Powerful Citation Checking

CiteLogos scans your document and places comments directly where errors occur—with specific recommendations for fixing each issue.

In-Text Citations

Validates parenthetical and narrative citations, including et al. usage, comma placement, ampersand vs. "and," and proper formatting.

Reference List

Checks alphabetical order, italicization, author formatting, and identifies unclear reference types that need attention.

Cross-Reference Check

Ensures every in-text citation has a corresponding reference—and flags references that aren't cited in your text.

Multiple Authors

Handles 3+ author citations with proper et al. formatting, year suffixes for disambiguation (2022a, 2022b), and detection when multiple sources share the same first authors.

Compound Surnames

Correctly handles complex names like "De Luca," "Van der Berg," and organizational authors.

Clear Feedback

Comments appear right where errors occur, with specific explanations and recommended fixes you can understand.
