Brand-new for 2025, Originality.ai’s Fact Checker Citations update now lets users generate bibliographic citations for sources found during fact-checking scans.
Better yet, it does so in just a couple of clicks.
With the option to generate single citations or download the full list in the most popular citation styles, this latest upgrade means no more hunting down source details or trying to remember every little formatting rule (where does the year go again?).
Just clean, ready-to-use citations and bibliographies without the hassle.
Read on to learn more about what Originality.ai’s Fact Checker Citations feature is, what it does, and how to use it.
Originality.ai’s Fact Checker is a tool used to verify information in blog posts, papers, and other written materials. Its high accuracy rate of 86.69% makes it a reliable fact-checking tool for journalists, marketers, teachers, students, and anyone else dedicated to creating honest, error-free content.
After all, we’ve already seen the kind of consequences that can result from the spread of AI hallucinations and other types of misinformation. Just look at the AI book list and the Deloitte AI report scandals.
The AI hallucinations or AI errors published in those materials negatively impacted the reputation and credibility of the companies involved. Deloitte even had to issue a partial refund of the project — worth $440,000 AUD — to the Australian government due to the errors.
And… it all could’ve been prevented with the help of Originality.ai’s patented suite of tools and a keen eye for content quality review.
In just one scan, these companies could’ve checked their work with both our AI Detector and Fact Checker to help them identify any likely AI text and factual errors.
Originality.ai’s flexible pricing options would’ve undoubtedly been a small price to pay to help prevent any damage done to their brands.
Besides, our Fact Checker has only gotten better with its latest update.
The Fact Checker Citations feature is an update to Originality.ai’s Fact Checker that allows users to generate citations for their verified facts. It’s designed to make the process of creating citations and bibliographies easier and more efficient.

In other words, the update generates bibliographic citations for the sources of facts verified by Originality.ai's Fact Checker.
The Fact Checker’s citation sources come from Perplexity Sonar, a grounded large language model (LLM) API.
In this context, “grounded” means that Sonar searches online for information related to the user’s input and uses it to generate its answers. It includes the site’s URL, title, and date in its API response, and the Fact Checker then presents it all to the user as sources.
For example, if a user asks about Originality.ai’s AI detection accuracy, Sonar will typically pull data and insights from relevant sources to provide an evidence-based response.
The Citations feature allows users to generate citations in the most commonly used styles, including:
The chosen style will apply to both single bibliographic citations and full citation lists.
