How it works

How hidden knowledge work becomes public proof.

CitePep records who creates, reviews, corrects, and verifies content, counts only the work a publisher actually accepted, and turns that history into a portable public reputation profile.

The core loop

Every contribution moves through the same four steps, whether it's an original article or a one-line correction.

1

Contribute

Someone authors, reviews, edits, corrects, or sources a specific page. The action is recorded as a typed contribution tied to a real person.

2

Publisher decides

The publisher or editor who controls the page accepts or declines it. They always hold final editorial authority.

3

Credit is recorded

Accepted work is publicly attributed to the contributor and added to the page's contribution history. Declined work may be retained internally for integrity, but only accepted work appears publicly and affects reputation.

4

Reputation updates

The contributor's scores and topic authority recalculate, and their public profile reflects the new accepted work.

Two ways in

Whether you have the expertise or the content that needs it.

What your reputation becomes

From accepted contributions, CitePep computes three things and turns them into one portable profile.

Contribution score

A weighted total of accepted contributions, with authoring and reviewing carrying the most weight.

Trust score

An acceptance-rate measure tempered by track record, so consistency over time counts for more than a perfect record on one or two items.

Topic authority

Per-topic scores that show exactly where your expertise lies.

The result is a public profile that travels with you across every publisher you work with, a verifiable answer to "who is this person, and what have they contributed before?" Reputation cannot be bought; the rules are public in our editorial standards.
