Frequently asked
Do I need an account?
No. The check works entirely without signing up. An optional free account keeps your results permanently and enables re-downloads and sharing.
What does it cost?
9,00 € per full check, 4,50 € at the reduced solidarity price. The citation check is downloadable for free. A re-check of the same manuscript is free once.
What is the solidarity price?
A reduced price (4,50 €) on trust for anyone in a precarious research situation: independent researchers, PhD candidates without a permanent position, and others for whom the standard price is a barrier. Just pick it at checkout.
Does it work for bachelor's and master's theses?
Yes, technically the same way: upload your university's requirements sheet (incl. citation rules) as a Word file or text, and the check goes through your work point by point against it.
How long does a check take?
Usually 1–2 minutes. There's no queue; the check starts immediately and the page updates on its own.
What files can I upload?
Word documents (.docx). Journal requirements can be pasted as text, loaded from a URL, or uploaded as a .docx.
Which citation styles are supported?
APA 7 in German and English, including DOI verification via Crossref. Numeric/Vancouver styles are checked with limitations.
Is my manuscript stored?
Without an account, no, it is deleted right after the analysis. With an account, only if you deliberately archive it; then it is stored encrypted.
Does this replace copy-editing?
No. It's a pre-flight aid that surfaces the most common formal rejection reasons before submission, not a substitute for expert review.
