Try Litrevu FreeThe ChatGPT citation problem
ChatGPT is great for many things. Academic writing with proper citations isn't one of them. Here's what students keep running into:
Hallucinated references
ChatGPT invents citations that look real but don't exist. Professors check.
No source integration
You can't upload your 30 reference papers and have ChatGPT cite them properly.
Generic output
It doesn't know your research question, your methodology, or your field's conventions.

Common questions
Why can't I just use ChatGPT for my literature review?
ChatGPT draws on its training data, not your actual sources. It frequently invents citations that don't exist, a problem known as hallucination. Litrevu only cites papers you upload, so every reference is real and verifiable.
Does Litrevu hallucinate citations like ChatGPT?
No. Litrevu uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to pull content exclusively from your sources. If a paper isn't in your library, it won't be cited.
Is Litrevu more expensive than a ChatGPT subscription?
Litrevu is a one-time purchase starting at $8.49, with no monthly subscription. ChatGPT Plus costs $20/month and still can't cite your own papers. For students on a budget, Litrevu is more affordable and purpose-built for academic writing.
What does Litrevu do for my research paper?
Litrevu synthesizes your sources for every major section: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Abstract, and Title. You guide each section with your research details and then review, revise, and rewrite the synthesis in your own voice. The output is grounded in YOUR sources, not the internet.
What citation styles does Litrevu support?
Litrevu supports APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, Harvard, and Vancouver citation styles. You can switch between them instantly.
