About VerusCite

Our Methodology

VerusCite is designed to provide rigorous verification of academic and legal citations. Our process involves several sophisticated steps to ensure accuracy:

• Extraction: We use the Gemini API (processed in the US) to parse document text and extract structured citation data.
• Verification: Extracted citations are cross-referenced against major academic databases, including Semantic Scholar and Google Search. This allows us to verify titles, authors, and venues across millions of records from publishers like Springer, Wiley, Elsevier, and more.
• Reasoning: Our system employs advanced LLM reasoning to compare cited metadata against found results, identifying potential hallucinations or mismatches.

Data Privacy & Retention

We prioritize your privacy and data security:

• No Long-Term API Retention: We use the Gemini API with no long-term data retention for processed text.
• PDF Deletion: Your original PDF files are deleted from our server immediately after the extraction process is complete.
• Metadata Storage: We only retain the extracted citation metadata and verification results to allow you to review and download them.
