Three checks for anyone deciding where to publish or what to trust: journal legitimacy, open-web text matches, and writing signals. Built to be honest about what each one can and cannot tell you.
Privacy note. This runs on a free AI tier, and the provider may use text sent here to improve their models. Do not paste confidential or unpublished writing you need to keep private into the web-match or writing-signals boxes.
Enter a journal name, publisher, or ISSN. This researches indexing (DOAJ, Scopus), peer-review and fee practices, listings on predatory-journal records, and any documented regulatory or retraction history, then reports what it found with sources.
Paste a passage. This searches the open web for pages carrying identical or near-identical wording and reports what it finds. A short passage of one or two paragraphs works best.
Paste text to see qualitative signals a human reviewer might look into, on both sides. This gives no score and no verdict, by design, because AI detection is unreliable and false accusations do real harm.
