A full dissertation draft, with citations you can verify yourself
Every reference is retrieved from a real academic index before a word is written — then compiled by lookup, not by the model. No invented titles. No fabricated DOIs. You guide the outline, review the sources, and finish the analysis yourself.

Why the citations hold up
Traditional LLMs invent citations because they write the reference and the prose in the same step. CiteLyra retrieves sources first and only cites from what it found.
Grounded in 200M+ Papers
Every draft begins with automated search across Crossref, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar, giving the writing pipeline real metadata to work from. Records without a title, named authors, a publication year, and a resolving DOI or URL are discarded before drafting starts.
The model never writes a reference
Writing agents emit citation IDs, not citation text. A deterministic compiler then swaps each ID for the formatted reference from the bibliography — a dictionary lookup with no model judgment involved, so a reference cannot be invented at the point it is written.
Multi-Agent Review
19 specialized AI agents collaborate—from Scout (research) and Architect (outlining) to Editor (polish)—ensuring academic rigor and stylistic coherence.
What else could you do with a thesis to write?
Three realistic options for a student facing a long-form draft, compared on the things that actually decide the outcome.
| CiteLyra | Generic AI (ChatGPT) | Freelance thesis writer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citations | Retrieved from academic indexes before drafting; DOI, URL and metadata checked | Frequently fabricated — invented titles and DOIs that look real | Real, but you cannot check the work as it happens |
| Draft length | Multi-chapter long-form, up to 100+ pages | A few thousand words; structure drifts over a full document | Full length |
| Turnaround | Under an hour | Minutes per section, assembled by you | Around three weeks |
| Typical cost | $19 – $79 one-time | $0 – $20/month | ~$300 in the UK and US |
| Who is the author | You are — you set the outline, review every source, and write the analysis | You are | Someone else is |
| Academic standing | A drafting tool you disclose and build on, like a reference manager | A drafting tool, if you replace the invented citations | Contract cheating — a criminal offence in England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand, and grounds for expulsion elsewhere |
| Exports | PDF, Word, Markdown, LaTeX / Overleaf, ZIP | Copy and paste | Usually Word |

1 Introduction
The sharing economy has emerged as a transformative phenomenon, characterized by temporary access to goods and services rather than outright ownership. This model is primarily enabled by digital platforms that mediate exchanges between resource owners and users (Curtis & Mont, 2020, p. 4). Algorithms embedded within these platforms streamline the process of matching resources. Reputation systems, user reviews, and identity verification serve as substitutes for traditional institutional trust (Nadolny et al., 2023, p. 2). The accumulation of verified reviews enables strangers to transact with a high degree of confidence. Despite its rapid expansion, the sharing economy remains contested terrain. Critics argue that platform operators externalize risks onto individual providers while capturing disproportionate value (Schor et al., 2016).
I put my finished paper and a CiteLyra draft of the same title side by side. I expected mine to win. It didn’t.
It saved me from weeks of digging through databases. Instead of a blank page I had a properly structured draft with real, checkable sources to build on and make my own.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about plans, billing, and citation checks.
How do credit packs work?
Credits are a simple pay-as-you-go currency. You purchase a pack once, and CiteLyra deducts credits when you start a new draft based on document type and expected depth. A research paper costs 10 credits; longer drafts cost more because they require more sources, sections, and validation passes. Each pack is sized to complete the document it is named after. If a draft fails or is cancelled, your credits are refunded immediately.
How does CiteLyra reduce citation hallucinations?
CiteLyra operates in phases. The research phase searches academic APIs including Crossref, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex to locate real papers. The app compiles a verified bibliography, and the writing agents are constrained to cite from that source list.
Can I download the generated drafts in other formats?
Yes. Once completed, your draft is ready to download as PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), Markdown, LaTeX / Overleaf source, and a ZIP bundle.
Is my data private? Do you train models on my drafts?
Your work is private to your account. CiteLyra does not use your prompts, research questions, drafts, or bibliography files to train its own models. You own your documents and can delete them from your dashboard at any time.
Is using CiteLyra cheating or violating academic integrity?
No. CiteLyra acts as an advanced literature compiler and structural drafting assistant. It helps you research topics, structure outlines, and create a comprehensive first draft grounded in real, verified sources. All generated materials are intended to serve as a high-quality foundation—you must personally review the claims, add your own arguments, customize the analysis, and refine the prose. Submitting a generated draft as your own unedited work may violate your institution's rules, so always review, verify, and rewrite it in your own voice. It is designed to co-author with you, not replace your own critical thinking.
