Bulletproof Citations.
Human Verified.
Automated citation tools make mistakes. Unverified claims ruin reputations. Hire a fully managed Virtual Assistant to cross-reference every quote, verify every DOI, and audit your manuscript for absolute accuracy.
Proficient in Scholarly & Legal Verification Infrastructure
Audit with Precision.
Citation verification is a slow, character-perfect science. Our Virtual Assistants follow rigorous checklists to ensure your academic or legal authority remains unquestioned.
Style Compliance Audit
Scrutinizing every comma, period, and italicized title against Bluebook, APA 7, MLA 9, or Chicago 17. We guarantee 100% style consistency.
Fact-Check Alignment
The VA reads the cited source material to confirm that the specific page, paragraph, or chart actually supports the claim made in your text.
DOI & Metadata Repair
Identifying broken DOIs or missing metadata in your reference manager. We hunt for permalinks to ensure your citations are searchable and permanent.
Zotero/EndNote Triage
Cleaning up your reference database. We merge duplicates, fix journal abbreviations, and ensure PDF attachments are properly linked to entries.
PDF Metadata Cleanup
Opening individual PDF files to verify author names, publication dates, and volume numbers when automated scrapers fail to extract clean data.
In-Text Discrepancy Scans
Checking for "ghost citations" (sources cited in text but missing from bibliography) and "dormant sources" (sources in bibliography never cited in text).
The Audit Pipeline
From your draft manuscript to a submission-ready, verified bibliography.
Requirements Lock
Provide your manuscript, reference style guide, and access to your research library.
Strategy & Scope
Your PM defines the level of verification (formatting only vs. deep fact-check) and assigns the VA.
Active Verification
The VA cross-references sources, repairs metadata, and audits formatting on the live document.
Review & Approve
Receive a clean audit log of changes. You pay strictly for the VA's active verification hours.

Verification FAQ
Our VAs utilize a mix of public databases and your institution's proxy/library access if provided. For specific legal or medical paywalls (like Westlaw or UpToDate), we recommend adding the VA as a secondary user to your existing account so they can legally retrieve the documents required for the fact-check.
Yes. We assign VAs with specific experience in Bluebook (Legal), AMA (Medical), or APA styles. They are trained to format string citations correctly, manage "Id." and "Supra" references, and ensure pincites match the source material exactly.
Sagedoer is a fully managed professional agency. All VAs and Project Managers work under strict corporate NDAs. We recommend providing access via a restricted, "View Only" or "Suggesting Mode" cloud document (like Google Docs or Word Online) so you retain full control over your intellectual property.
