Maiban Citation: Find sources from conclusions, auto-cite every sentence in your draft

Struggling to back up a vague remembered conclusion with real papers, spending hours citing each sentence manually, or worried AI-generated citations simply don't exist — Maiban Citation rebuilds the citation workflow from the ground up. Reverse tracing lets you start from a claim and find the papers; batch citation auto-matches candidates for every sentence in your draft; dual-path retrieval ensures complete and accurate results; and all citations are grounded in real papers, eliminating AI hallucination by design.

Feature highlights

Why Maiban?

• Only remember the conclusion? Reverse-trace to the source
  • No keywords needed — paste the claim, conclusion, or paragraph you vaguely remember, and the system back-searches the most relevant papers. More efficient than traditional search, and keeps your writing flow intact.
• Batch citation for your entire draft
  • Upload your manuscript draft; the system scans sentence by sentence, surfacing multiple candidate references per claim. AI-powered recommendation with rationale and translation; format output in one go — no more manual lookup line by line.
• Dual-path retrieval: complete and precise
  • Multi-scale semantic vector search + full-text literal phrase matching covers both fuzzy and exact queries. Combined relevance scoring ensures a fuller, more accurate candidate list.
• Flexible citation scope
  • Scope ranges from the entire PubMed database to a custom knowledge base or a handful of specific papers. PubMed search also supports filtering by publication date and journal impact factor.
• Fake citations eliminated by design
  • All citations trace back to real papers with verifiable DOIs. AI hallucinated and irrelevant references are blocked at the mechanism level — no more embarrassment when reviewers or supervisors find a citation that doesn't exist.
