Reviews
AI-powered proofreading, claim verification, source-quality checks, and academic review.
FAQ ↓Reviews runs AI analysis across your document and returns inline suggestions, citation warnings, or reviewer feedback that you can work through one by one. Review types include Proofread for grammar and style, Claim Confidence for factual assertions, Source Quality for citation risk, Tone of Voice for style alignment, and Peer Review for an academic reviewer-style assessment.
Accessing Reviews
Open the Reviews panel from the right sidebar. The panel shows available review types and any previous results.

Review Categories
Proofread
Proofread follows your document language and respects locale-specific spelling, including British English.
| Category | What It Catches |
|---|---|
| Grammar | Subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, article usage, modifier placement |
| Punctuation | Missing or misplaced commas, semicolons, periods, and quotation marks |
| Word Choice | Imprecise language, malapropisms, commonly confused words |
| Formality | Contractions, colloquialisms, or casual phrasing in formal writing |
| Passive Voice | Sentences where the subject receives the action rather than performing it |
| Repetition | Words or phrases repeated within close proximity |
| Formatting | Inconsistent heading levels, list formatting, or spacing issues |
Claim Confidence
| Category | What It Flags |
|---|---|
| Unsupported | Claims with no citation or supporting evidence |
| Weak Evidence | Claims backed by a source that does not strongly support the assertion |
| Overstated | Language that exaggerates what the cited source actually demonstrates |
| Misattributed | Claims attributed to a source that does not make that argument |
| Contradicted | Claims that conflict with evidence in the cited source or elsewhere in the document |
| Unverifiable | Claims that cannot be checked against available sources |
Source Quality
Source Quality checks the citations already in your document and groups potential issues into five categories:
| Category | What It Catches |
|---|---|
| Retracted | Sources that have been formally retracted |
| Preprint | Preprints, including those with a known published version |
| Supporting document | Editorials, letters, errata, datasets, grants, peer reviews, retraction notices, and other paratext |
| Rarely Cited | Sources with low citation counts for their publication age |
| Unverified Journal | Sources published in journals Jenni cannot verify confidently |
After the review runs, the results panel shows an issue summary, category filters, and bibliography notes about publication age and venue spread when that information is available. Select a category to focus on one issue type, then click Review Changes to move through flagged citations in document order.
Click a flagged citation in the editor to see why it was flagged and choose an action:
- Keep resolves the warning without changing the citation
- Remove removes the citation from that citation node
- Replace with published version swaps a preprint for a known published version when Jenni finds one
- Find replacement opens citation search inside the issue popover; inspect a result and click Replace without leaving the review flow
When a suggested replacement is the same work with better publication metadata, the comparison highlights changed venue and DOI details so you can inspect them before replacing the citation. The replacement search accepts normal multi-word queries; press Escape to close it.
Tone of Voice
Tone of Voice checks whether the writing style matches the target voice for the document. It can assess word choice, sentence structure, formality, clarity, and readability. You can also use a PDF from your library as a style reference.
Peer Review
Peer Review simulates an expert academic review. It produces an overview, ratings, strengths, weaknesses, reviewer questions, and comment threads tied to specific parts of the document. The final Peer Review synthesis follows the document language.
Inline Suggestions
Each suggestion appears directly in the editor text. Red strikethrough marks text to be removed. Green highlighting marks proposed insertions. Click any suggestion to open a detail popup showing:
- The reasoning behind the suggestion
- The category it belongs to
- For Claim Confidence: excerpts from the relevant citation
Review Mode
After results are generated, click Review Changes to step through suggestions one at a time.
How It Works
- The editor locks to prevent manual edits during review
- A floating toolbar appears at the top of the editor

Bulk Actions
- Accept All – Applies every remaining suggestion at once
- Reject All – Dismisses every remaining suggestion
When all suggestions have been resolved, Review Mode exits automatically.
For Source Quality, Y performs the primary action shown in the toolbar and N performs the secondary action. The available actions depend on the active warning; navigation stays within the selected Source Quality category.
Configuring Claim Confidence Sources
Click the Configure sources button next to Claim Confidence to control which sources the AI checks claims against:
- Library toggle – Include or exclude your uploaded library sources
- External toggle – Include or exclude open access papers and web sources
- Collection filter – Limit source checking to a specific library collection
- Year range – Set a minimum and maximum publication year
- Impact factor – Set a minimum journal impact factor for source consideration
These settings apply to all future Claim Confidence runs until changed.
Literature Review Workflow
Open Workflows in the sidebar and select Literature review to research and draft a cited review without first creating a document.
- Enter your topic, up to 5,000 characters. A character counter appears as you approach the limit.
- Choose Web search, Library search, or a specific Library collection. If your Library is empty, click Add sources to upload PDFs without leaving the workflow.
- Set citation filters such as publication year and source requirements.
- Click Start literature review. Jenni disables the start action while a PDF upload is still running.
- Follow the live research and drafting stages. To cancel, use the stop control in the panel header and confirm Stop.
- Click Open document when the result is ready. Jenni creates a new document containing the completed review and clears the finished result from the workflow panel.
The workflow does not change your current document while it runs. The selected workflow remains available if you collapse and reopen the sidebar. A spinner beside Workflows shows that the review is still running after you close the panel, and a delayed notice explains that drafting usually takes 15–20 minutes. Jenni warns you before you close or reload a tab with a review in progress or a completed review that has not been opened yet.
If a run is cancelled or fails, your topic stays available. Choose Run again to retry it or Edit topic to revise it first. After Open document creates the review document, return to Workflows > Literature review to start another run. Literature reviews use a Pro review credit.
Managing Reviews
Re-running and Stopping
Click the refresh icon next to a review type to re-run it. This is useful after making edits based on previous results.
Click the stop button during a run to cancel it. When stopped, the previous results are restored so you do not lose earlier feedback.
If you refresh the page while Proofread is running, reopen Reviews. Jenni reconnects to the in-progress Proofread run and continues loading its saved suggestions. If you stop that run, the panel recovers the latest saved Proofread results without showing a temporary error.
Peer Review History
Peer Review keeps a history of completed runs. After you run Peer Review more than once, the resolved review screen shows recent runs with their time and overall score. Click a run to open its saved assessment, or click View all to browse the full run history.
Historical runs are read-only and show the saved overview, ratings, strengths, weaknesses, and reviewer questions. Current unresolved comment threads remain in the Comments panel.
Exporting Peer Review
Open a completed Peer Review and click Export. On desktop, Jenni opens the print dialog so you can print the assessment or save it as a PDF. On mobile, Jenni downloads the formatted assessment as an HTML file; open that file in your browser to read or share it. Exports include the document title, overall rating, summary, strengths, weaknesses, and reviewer questions.
Providing Feedback
Each review result and individual suggestion includes thumbs up and thumbs down buttons. Feedback does not change the current review. Jenni may use it to improve review quality as described in the Privacy Policy.
Troubleshooting
No suggestions found
The AI found nothing to flag in your document or selection. This is not an error. It means the text passed the review criteria.
Review is taking a long time
Longer documents take more time to review. The section progress bar indicates how far along the review is.
“Running for another document” message
Only one review can run at a time across all your open documents. Wait for the current review to finish, or stop it to start a new one.
Suggestions are not appearing in the editor
Check the category filter buttons in the results panel. If a category is deselected, its suggestions are hidden in the editor. Click All to show every suggestion.
Review stopped unexpectedly
If Proofread was still running when the page refreshed, reopen Reviews so Jenni can reconnect to it. If a review failed rather than reconnecting, click the refresh icon to run it again. Previous completed results remain available until a new run completes.
