Enterprise-grade AI-content verification and research integrity for the global academic community.
Mendeley's AI detection capabilities are integrated within the broader Elsevier Research Integrity ecosystem, primarily serving the Mendeley Reference Manager and institutional researchers. By 2026, the architecture has evolved from simple perplexity-based detection to a multi-layered linguistic analysis system. It leverages Elsevier's proprietary 'Fingerprint Engine' and is cross-referenced against the Scopus database to identify patterns indicative of LLM-generated text. The tool is designed specifically for academic discourse, distinguishing between legitimate AI-assisted grammar correction and illegitimate AI-generated original research. It operates through the Mendeley Reference Manager interface, allowing researchers and peer-reviewers to validate the provenance of citations and text. The technical backend utilizes a transformer-based classifier trained on high-fidelity academic corpora, providing a probability score for AI authorship. Its market position is unique as it sits within the citation workflow, making it the primary validation layer for Elsevier’s 2,800+ journals and the wider Mendeley community of over 6 million users.
