Your data is never sold or used to train AI

Why it holds up

Every source, checked four ways.

AI made it trivial to generate citations that look right and aren't. Folio is built the other way around: nothing reaches your bibliography without passing through four layers of checking.

See how integrity works
1

Verified at import

Paste a URL, DOI, or ISBN. Folio pulls the real record from Crossref, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar, so the citation matches the source, not a guess.

2

Screened for retractions

Folio flags retracted papers and expressions of concern before they reach your bibliography, so a withdrawn study never quietly props up your argument.

3

Answers grounded in your library

Scholar AI reads only the sources you added, and every claim links back to the exact passage. No open-web guessing, no invented citations.

4

Proof of authorship

Export a proof-of-work report that shows how the draft came together, so you can stand behind the writing, and the citations, as your own.

Built for how researchers actually work.

Six tools that used to live in six tabs, now one workspace that spans the whole job.

Integrity

Prove the work is yours.

An exportable authorship report, verified citations, and AI that answers only from your own sources. Built to hold up when your originality is questioned.

Classroom

For teaching: proof, not AI-detector guesses.

Share one assignment link. Every student submission arrives with a verifiable record of how it was written — the process, the citations, the AI use. Read, grade, and export from one roster. Free for instructors.

Studio

Publication-ready figures, in one place.

Folio Studio builds the diagrams your review needs — PRISMA flow charts, forest plots and meta-analysis, funnel plots, and CONSORT diagrams — then exports print-quality SVG or PNG. Free, no sign-up.

Discovery

From a question to a literature review.

Search Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, and Crossref in one box, follow the citation graph, then have AI build a cited synthesis matrix from the papers you choose.

Radar

Never miss a paper again.

Track topics, authors, journals, and citations, with weekly email digests, so the literature comes to you instead of the other way around.

Scholar AI

Scholar, your research assistant.

Ask questions across your library and get answers grounded in the papers you actually read, each one cited. It assists your thinking; it never replaces it.
