Editor in Chief, Dr Michelle Preiksaitis, on academic integrity
How Recite helps to protect academic integrity – from the classroom to publication
Academic integrity is under pressure.
From student essays to peer-reviewed journals, the challenge is the same – ensuring research is built on real, verifiable sources. Recite helps detect these problems across the board, supporting integrity from the classroom to publication.
Teaching citation accuracy and research integrity
Dr Michelle Preiksaitis – University Associate Professor, Dissertation Coordinator and Journal Editor-in-Chief – uses Recite to help students understand why accurate citations matter.
By identifying missing, incorrect, or unverifiable references, Recite helps students engage more critically with their sources. As a result, Dr Preiksaitis has seen paper quality improve by 25–50%, as students begin to understand how strong referencing underpins strong arguments.
Addressing AI hallucinations in academic work
In the classroom, Dr Preiksaitis has already encountered AI-generated citations with fabricated journals, volumes, or DOIs.
Recite flags these issues quickly, allowing educators to address them constructively and early.
Upholding journal standards during peer review
Dr Preiksaitis also uses Recite in her role as Editor-in-Chief. This screening helps protect the journal’s credibility, checking every manuscript for citation accuracy, missing references, and valid DOIs.
One tool across the research lifecycle
What sets Recite apart is its ability to support teaching, dissertation supervision, library services, and editorial workflows. As Dr Preiksaitis summarises:
Recite helps students learn, helps educators stay diligent, and helps editors uphold credibility.
Strengthening academic credibility at every stage
From first draft to final publication, Recite helps ensure academic work is grounded in real, verifiable research. And with the added threat of AI use increasing across the board, this is coming to matter now more than ever.
