Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use ReadCube Papers to a complete, accurate list of all source metadata ready for formatting. Then, you pass the output to Jenni AI to a configured citation tool that will produce correctly formatted citations for your chosen style. Then, you pass the output to ReadCube Papers to all in-text citations and a complete reference list generated in the correct style. Then, you pass the output to Jenni AI to a clean, error-free citation set that meets style requirements. Then, you pass the output to Jenni AI to a finalized paper with a correctly ordered, complete reference list and all in-text citations properly linked. Finally, ReadCube Papers is used to a verified, backed-up citation set and final paper ready for submission.
