- ✓Prepare author names, publication years, titles, and DOIs when available.
- ✓Review every citation against the original source — metadata can be incomplete.
- ✓Never submit references you have not verified.
- ✓Watch for fabricated or mismatched details — AI can suggest plausible but incorrect metadata.
- ✓Export only after you have edited content and confirmed your bibliography.

Academic integrity
Use Praxeli responsibly

Before you submit
- Read and edit every AI-generated section in your own voice.
- Verify each citation against the original source.
- Confirm your submission follows your institution's AI policy.
- Use detection and grammar tools as review aids — not guarantees.
Praxeli supports learning — not shortcuts

Follow your institution's policies
Universities differ on AI use. Check your syllabus, honor code, and department guidance before submitting AI-assisted work.
Verify citations and source details
Confirm authors, titles, years, and DOIs against the original papers. Do not cite sources you have not checked.
