Citation Archive

Official Pro

Turns a research session into a structured archive — claim + source + retrieval timestamp + snapshot link, organized for the long term

What it does

Takes the output of a research session (loose links, half-formed notes, a tab graveyard) and produces a structured archive: every claim normalized, every source URL preserved, every retrieval date captured, and high-stakes sources snapshotted against link rot. Built for research that has to outlive the browser session and the team member.

Why you need it

Research that lives in browser tabs and Slack DMs becomes unfindable two weeks later. Research that lives in a structured archive — claim, source, date, snapshot — compounds: the next person searching the same topic finds the work, the next quarter's decision can re-check the source, the next audit has the citation chain. Most teams skip this step and rebuild the same research six months later.

Key capabilities

- Claim normalization: extract the load-bearing facts from messy notes - URL preservation + canonicalization (strip tracking params, resolve redirects) - Retrieval-date capture in ISO 8601 (with timezone) - Snapshot creation for high-stakes sources (wayback / archive.today) - Tagging + topic clustering for findability across sessions
