Sourcely is an artificial-intelligence research assistant built for students, researchers and writers who want to strengthen their academic work. It reads the text a user submits and marks the points where a citation is needed, then points to relevant scholarship rather than leaving the search to a general web engine. The catalogue behind it holds over 200 million scholarly articles, so users can locate papers on a topic, condense what those papers say and build citations that match the required style.
Beyond searching, the tool is meant to take some of the labor out of a literature review: a writer can move from a rough draft to sourced claims without jumping between several databases. Accounts are available on monthly and yearly subscription terms, and the Ambassador Program pays a commission to people who bring paying customers to the platform.
Tools of this kind sit between a reference manager and a search engine, aiming to cut down the time spent hunting for sources so more of it goes into the argument itself. Sourcely is intended to make evidence-based writing easier to put together, from an early draft through to the finished bibliography.
