The integrity-first research workspace

Research you can prove is yours.

A detector returns a probability about a person. Folio returns a record about the work: every source resolved against the scholarly databases, every retraction flagged, and an authorship report that holds up when the question is asked.

Running here, in this page

Change a number. The statistics follow.

This is the pooling Folio Studio ships, running in your browser. Edit any confidence interval and the pooled estimate, the diamond and I² recompute, with nothing sent anywhere. Export the finished figure and it carries a public record that recomputes the same numbers from the stored data.

The studies below are illustrative sample data, not real papers. Swap in numbers from your own review and the same math runs on them.

Every exported figure gets a record like this one: the studies, the pooled estimate and a SHA-256 fingerprint over the data, on a page anyone can open without an account.

Recorded in the product

One workspace, not four tabs.

Your drafts, your library, and overnight findings from your agents on one screen. Nothing below is a mockup or a motion-graphics reconstruction. It is the real interface on real papers, at real speed.

The Folio workspace: documents, sources, citations and research agents in one place.Each finding says what it changes about your draft.
The researcher workspace: documents, sources and agents in one place rather than four tools.

Search twelve sources at once, and save without an import step.

Multi-source academic search, read the abstract in place, and save straight into the library — no separate import step.

Two brackets, and the citation resolves inline.

Citing a source is one keystroke inside the draft, not a trip to another tool — [[ opens a picker over the real library and the citation renders inline, resolved, immediately.

Checked, not guessed

Every source, checked four ways.

AI made it trivial to produce citations that look right and are not. Folio is built the other way around: nothing reaches a bibliography without passing four layers of checking, and each layer can be opened and tested without an account.

1

Verified at import

Paste a URL, DOI or ISBN. The real record comes back from Crossref, OpenAlex and Open Library, so the citation matches the source instead of resembling one.

Check a bibliography
2

Screened for retractions

Retracted work and expressions of concern are flagged before they reach a bibliography, so a withdrawn study never quietly props up an argument.

Try it on a real retraction
3

Grounded in your library

Scholar AI reads only the sources you added, and every claim links to the passage it came from. No open-web guessing, so no invented reference to catch later.

How grounding works
4

Signed and checkable

A finished draft exports an authorship report, and a figure exports a certificate. Anyone holding the code opens the public page and checks the hashes themselves.

See how verification works

One search across twelve sources.

Folio queries the open scholarly record directly and verifies citations against it, rather than against whatever the open web returns. Bring a library in from the tools you already use, and take the data back out in open formats.
