WHO WE ARE

Built for people doing real research

Cite Forward exists because AI tools are genuinely useful for research — and genuinely dangerous when used carelessly. We cover both sides honestly.

OUR MISSION

AI can’t write your paper. But it can make the research behind it faster.

We publish research-backed guides on how to use AI tools effectively for scientific writing and literature review. Not hype. Not hollow productivity tips. Guides that tell you exactly what works, what doesn’t, and why.

We’re also upfront about where AI falls short — especially around citations, hallucinations, and literature review accuracy. That honesty is what makes us different.

📝

“Every piece we publish is citation-first: sourced from real research, verified, and linked so you can dig deeper.”

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Our core principles

🔎

Citation-First, Always

No hallucinated references. No vague “according to research.” Every claim we publish links to a real, verifiable source you can check yourself.

⚠️

Honest About AI Limits

We tell you exactly where AI tools fall short — not just where they shine. Especially around citations, hallucinations, and literature review accuracy.

🎓

Built for Real Researchers

📊

Research-Backed Guides
