F2Y Apps is an AI product studio focused on scholarly publishing. We build citation intelligence tools that help researchers and institutions produce more accurate, credible, and reproducible work.
Every year, thousands of papers are published citing retracted studies, broken links, and sources that were never read carefully. The problem is not bad intentions — it is that the tools researchers use were not built to catch these errors at scale.
We built SmartCiter and ScholarScan to change that. Our tools use AI to audit every citation in a manuscript before it is submitted — detecting retracted sources, coverage gaps, format violations, and signs of citation bias. In seconds, not hours.
We believe that institutions — universities, journals, research centers — should be able to enforce citation integrity automatically, across their entire domain, without adding burdens to researchers. That is the standard we are building toward.
A Microsoft Word add-in that audits citations inside your manuscript as you write. No copy-pasting, no context switching — citation intelligence where the work happens.
A browser-based manuscript review platform for researchers, reviewers, and editors. Paste or upload a manuscript and get a full citation audit report — no installation required.
Tools should help researchers produce better work, not create new compliance burdens. Every feature we build is evaluated against that standard.
Research integrity is ultimately an institutional responsibility. We build for department-wide and university-wide deployment because individual tools are not enough.
A citation audit that takes an hour will not be used. We are obsessed with making thorough integrity checks fast enough to fit into the writing workflow.
Research happens everywhere. We price and distribute our tools to serve institutions in emerging academic markets, not only well-funded research universities.
Manuscript content is sensitive. We process only what is needed for the audit and never store or train on user manuscripts without explicit consent.
We are a small team building in public. Every feature request, edge case, and complaint from researchers makes the product better. We read everything.
F2Y Apps is an independent software studio. We are not backed by a publishing conglomerate or driven by metrics that conflict with researcher needs. If you have questions, partnership ideas, or institutional licensing inquiries — we would love to hear from you.
