# AcaTrove

> Ask questions of your own papers and get answers with citations, then draft research statements, grant narratives, and biosketches from the same record. Citation checks match your draft’s citations to the papers in your library. Works with Zotero and ORCID.

AcaTrove is a research and career workspace for academics, built by ScholarFlow LLC. Researchers import their papers and publications (PDF upload, Zotero, ORCID, CV upload), ask questions of those sources and see the passages retrieved for each answer, search the open literature with every source named, and draft research statements, grant narratives, and biosketches from the same record. In open-archive answers, every numbered citation is checked against the sources actually retrieved and one that matches nothing is removed; a citation check in the editor matches a draft's citations to the researcher's own library and marks a claim supported only when it can quote the source passage.
