Check If a Paper Is Worth Citing
The real problem is not finding a paper. It is deciding whether the paper is strong enough, relevant enough, and clean enough to cite. LancetClaw helps you judge the fit, strength, and caveats before the paper reaches your draft, review, or recommendation.
Audience
Medical writers, editors, clinicians, reviewers, and students deciding whether a source belongs in the final set.
Use Case
Decide whether a paper supports your claim strongly enough to cite or whether you should keep searching.
