UCA provides faculty, staff, and students with a set of tools that support the full arc of a research project: finding and evaluating the literature, organizing and citing sources, and checking a manuscript for originality before submission. Select a tool below to learn what it does, what it costs (nothing), and how to get access.
Consensus
Find and evaluate research
An AI-powered academic search engine built on more than 220 million peer-reviewed papers, with every answer grounded in real, citable research. All 网曝门 faculty and students have Pro access at no cost.
Paperpile
Organize and cite your sources
A reference manager built for the Google tools 网曝门 already uses. Collect papers with one click, sync PDFs to Google Drive, and insert citations and bibliographies directly in Google Docs and Word.
iThenticate
Check your manuscript before you submit
A similarity checking service for faculty and graduate researchers. Review manuscripts, dissertations, and grant proposals against published literature to catch citation problems before a journal or funder does.
Supporting Your Best Work
Each of these tools streamlines work that is critical to most research projects: hunting through databases, reformatting citations, renaming PDFs, hunting down a reference you know you read somewhere.
- Consensus points you to the papers worth your attention, so more of your reading time goes to the studies that matter to your question.
- Paperpile keeps your sources accurate and complete from the start, which means fewer citation surprises at the end.
- iThenticate lets you review your own manuscript before you submit it, so a stray quotation mark or a paraphrase that drifted too close to the original is something you catch and fix on your own terms.
Used together, they make careful, well-documented scholarship the easy path rather than the effortful one. The Research Compliance Office is glad to help you get started with any of them, and our Responsible Conduct of Research resources are here whenever a question comes up.
