If you publish through journals, machinery tracks your citations. If you publish preprints, Zenodo deposits, or independent work — you have nothing. CiteStamp is that machinery, free, for everyone.
Machine sweeps of Zenodo and SSRN metadata have already mapped citations for hundreds of thousands of works. Search your DOI on the main page, open the paper page, and follow Claim with ORCID — pick the citations that are really yours and put your name on them. Your ORCID sign-in proves identity; authorship is checked against the work’s own metadata, and a human curator handles anything the metadata can’t settle.
Nothing. The plan is to charge institutions and AI companies — not researchers. Signing keys for the full minting surface are issued by hand while the service is small: info@citestamp.com.
There is almost none to misuse. The graph stores links between public identifiers — no full text, no abstracts, no personal data on the record. Claims are CC0 and the whole log is publicly forkable, so the record outlives any one operator, including us.
