CiteReady Integrates iThenticate and ImaChek for Seamless Manuscript

Preparation Experience
Launched in August 2026, CiteReady is an all-in-one platform for academic research and
manuscript preparation. Through its partnership with iThenticate by Turnitin, CiteReady
enables users to perform citation analysis, and by integrating iThenticate text similarity
technology into a single interface, users will receive additional data points via iThenticate
academic integrity reports.
“We designed CiteReady with one clear purpose: to make academic integrity a natural part of
the writing process, not an extra step researchers have to think about separately,” said Mr.
Pote Lee, President & CEO of CiteReady. “By integrating with iThenticate, we’re increasing
how seamlessly our users engage with authentication throughout their work — so verifying
originality becomes simply part of a streamlined research workflow, rather than an
interruption to it.

Embedding iThenticate Into the Manuscript Preparation Workflow

This partnership combines the technological strengths of CiteReady and iThenticate to
streamline manuscript preparation for researchers without the need to switch between
multiple tools. Through this collaboration, CiteReady will now offer iThenticate as part of the
CiteReady offering to strengthen its visibility and adoption among scientific and academic
communities in developing countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
“Partnering with CiteReady allows us to support authors and researchers earlier in their
writing journeys,” said Mr. Mark Harnor, Senior Business Development Director, Turnitin.
“By embedding iThenticate’s similarity technology directly into CiteReady’s reference and
manuscript workflows, we empower individuals to check their work proactively, provide data
to assist with proper attribution, and uphold academic integrity before they submit.”

How CiteReady Safeguards Academic Integrity by Integrating ImaChek

CiteReady also integrated ImaChek, a cutting-edge image originality comparison technology,
into its platform to bolster image integrity and credibility in research and elevate the
professionalism of academic papers. Within CiteReady’s single environment, researchers can
now manage references, run text similarity checks, and identify potential image issues, such
as duplication or manipulation, helping ensure the quality of both text and images before
manuscript submission.
Image integrity is as critical as text integrity. Researchers often spend long hours checking
numerous images in their manuscripts, and subtle issues may be overlooked, sometimes
resulting in rejection at the editorial review stage. By combining ImaChek’s technology with
its platform, CiteReady enables researchers, scientific authors, publishers, institutions, and
other professionals in the scholarly community to evaluate images and surface potential
problems early, supporting ethical standards in academic research.

CiteReady Continues to Maintain Higher Standards of Academic Integrity

As a comprehensive reference and citation management platform, CiteReady is dedicated to
supporting academic integrity and citation accuracy. CiteReady’s AI-driven search features
also assist researchers in delving into over 250 million academic literature sources, allowing
them to organize article references into customized folders and manage citations effectively.
CiteReady is committed to providing researchers, academic institutions, and publishers with a
seamless manuscript preparation experience. By integrating iThenticate’s leading text
similarity technology and ImaChek’s image originality comparison technology, CiteReady
empowers researchers to adhere to academic ethical standards and publish their work with
confidence.
