Real papers. Honest citations. Nothing invented.
LitMark finds real academic papers for your assignment question, highlights the exact sentence that's relevant, and checks every citation in your essay against the real source — so nothing you submit is fabricated, and nothing in it can be mistaken for AI-written text.
LitMark never writes a word of your essay.
The only place LitMark generates any text at all is a short summary of a paper you've already saved — for your own notes, clearly labelled as such. Nothing you submit has touched AI generation, so there's nothing for Turnitin or GPTZero to catch — because there's genuinely nothing there.
Real papers for the question you actually asked.
Type your assignment question in plain English and LitMark searches 7 real academic databases, surfacing the exact relevant sentence in each result — so you're not skimming forty abstracts to find the one that matters. Law and statistics questions can also bring up the real statute wording and official figures alongside the papers, where available.
See both sides before you commit to an argument.
Every question gets evidence that supports it and evidence that challenges it, side by side — so your essay engages with the real debate instead of quietly cherry-picking the sources that agree with you.
Save it once. Export it however your course wants it.
Every folder tracks APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver and IEEE at once — copy the bibliography, download as Word or PDF, or export straight to EndNote, Zotero or Mendeley.
Catch a fake citation before your tutor does.
Paste your essay in. Every citation is checked against the real source and tagged faithful, overstated, misrepresented, fabricated, not original source, or unable to verify — and when a citation skips the original source, we point you to it. We even catch it when a source has since been retracted or directly debunked by later research, something no amount of careful reading would show you. We also flag it when you cite one source for two conflicting claims, and when strong evidence against a claim never appears in your essay. Then it's rolled into one colour-coded Citation Accuracy score, so you know exactly where you stand before you submit, not after.
Real search strings for your library's databases.
Built from your actual question — synonyms, spellings and related terms — ready to paste straight into Cochrane, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, JSTOR, Lexis+, Ovid, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science or Westlaw.
Write down why it mattered. Understand it in plain English.
Add a note the moment you know why a source matters, so you're not reconstructing your own reasoning weeks later. And for any abstract written in dense field jargon, get it explained in plain English — no jargon left unexplained.
Every source for your assignment, in one folder.
Save sources straight from a search into a folder for that assignment, with your highlighted excerpt and notes kept alongside each one. Already know a paper you want to use, from a lecturer's reading list or somewhere else? Paste its DOI into the folder and LitMark fetches the real paper, checks it against your research question, and adds it with the same relevance highlight as everything else you've saved. Every folder is tied to your account, not your browser — log in on a different laptop or phone and it's all still there.
Know exactly which rubric criteria you've hit.
Upload your marking criteria and your essay, and every criterion comes back with a clear status — hit, partly there, or missing — plus a concrete next step, not a guess. A missing piece of evidence pulls real papers to fill it; a missing citation routes straight to Citation Check. Never a predicted grade, just what's actually there and what to do about it.
