AI assists thinking. You own the science.

I built RIC out of a practical need. As a clinical researcher who uses AI tools in the writing process, I needed a way to check my own manuscripts before submission. Existing tools were either too expensive, too opaque, or designed for plagiarism detection only — none addressed the full spectrum of integrity concerns that modern AI-assisted academic writing creates.
AI tools are part of the modern research workflow, and that's fine. But you need to verify that your paper meets integrity standards before reviewers — or automated screening tools — flag it. That's what RIC does.
Journals increasingly screen for AI-generated text, fabricated citations, and plagiarism. Getting flagged post-submission means desk rejection, wasted months, and reputational risk. But existing checkers are either $200+/year, black-box, or only check one dimension.
RIC checks 4 integrity dimensions in one tool: citations, AI patterns, plagiarism, and editorial quality. Free tier gives you the full picture. Pro gives you the details to fix it. Transparent methodology — you can read exactly how each check works.
