CitePep

Let's make the internet a source of truth again.

Experts want credit for the knowledge they share. Publishers want their content checked, corrected, and kept accurate. CitePep brings the two together, so the people who know get cited and the information we all rely on stays true.

Free for experts. Get public credit for a single contribution and keep your profile forever.

Two sides, finally connected

The people who know the truth and the people who publish it have never had a place to find each other. CitePep is that place.

Experts

You know your field.
Get credited for it.

You review, correct, and verify other people's work all the time, and almost none of it is ever credited to you. CitePep records every contribution and builds it into a public profile that proves your expertise.

  • Public credit for every review and correction
  • A profile that travels with you everywhere
  • Authority that compounds over time
Publishers

Your pages
deserve to be right.

Facts age, mistakes slip through, and you can't be an expert in everything you publish. CitePep connects you with verified specialists who review, fact-check, and correct any page, from articles to product specs to documentation.

  • Verified specialists, matched by topic
  • Reviews, fact-checks, and corrections
  • Transparent credit on every page

Together, they keep information accurate. Experts earn recognition, publishers keep their content true, and readers finally know who stands behind what they read.

Real author signals, not empty labels

Search engines reward content with clear expertise and look for the real people behind it. CitePep gives every contributor a verifiable record of accepted work and topic authority, and gives publishers a transparent way to show exactly who created and checked each page.

This is not a badge you buy. Reputation is earned only through work a publisher actually accepted, weighted by consistency over time.

Every kind of contribution is verified

Authorship is only one way to make content trustworthy. CitePep records the whole chain of people behind a page, and each role earns its own verified credit and topic authority.

Author

Wrote the original content. The person whose name belongs at the top of the page, accountable for what it says.

Reviewer

Read the page critically and confirmed it holds up, flagging anything weak, unclear, or out of date before readers see it.

Editor

Shaped the page for clarity, structure, and tone, improving how the information reads without changing what's true.

Fact Checker

Verified the specific claims, figures, and quotes against real sources, so the page is accurate, not just plausible.

Correction

Spotted something wrong and fixed it. Corrections keep published pages accurate long after they first went live.

Source & Citation

Supplied the references that back a page up, or was cited as a trusted source by another. Being relied on is its own signal of authority.

A reputation ladder you carry with you

Reputation is earned through accepted contributions and a consistent track record, never bought or boosted.

Frequently asked questions

What is CitePep?

CitePep is a contributor identity network and reputation graph. It records who authored, reviewed, edited, and fact-checked content across the web, verifies that work through publisher acceptance, and turns it into a portable public profile for each contributor.

How do you verify who wrote an article?

Authorship and every other role is recorded as a typed contribution linking a person to a specific article. A contribution counts toward someone's verified record only once the publisher or editor accepts it, so attribution reflects work that was genuinely done and confirmed, not a self-claimed byline.

Is CitePep free for contributors?

Yes. Creating a contributor profile and building your reputation is free. You can start with a single contribution to one article, receive public attribution for it, and keep your profile whatever you decide afterwards.

How does CitePep help with E-E-A-T?

E-E-A-T rewards content with clear experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trust, and the people behind it matter. CitePep gives each contributor a verifiable history of accepted work and per-topic authority, and gives publishers a transparent way to show exactly who created and checked each page.

What kinds of contributions count?

Authoring, reviewing, editing, fact-checking, suggesting accepted corrections, providing sources, and being cited. Each type is weighted differently, with authoring and reviewing carrying the most signal.

How is the trust score calculated?

The trust score reflects your acceptance rate tempered by your track record, so a long, consistent history of accepted work counts for more than a perfect record over only one or two contributions.
