Add a source by DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, or URL, or pull from your Zotero and Mendeley library, and cite in any of seven styles. The marker lands where you write, the bibliography builds itself, and switching the whole paper to another style is one click. No invented references, ever.
The thing that sinks AI writing in academic and professional work is the confident citation of a paper that does not exist. Dock takes the opposite stance: you add sources by DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, or URL, or pull from a Zotero or Mendeley library you already keep, and each citation is a real, verifiable record. The references behind your claims point to actual papers, so your work holds up when someone follows them.
Different fields demand different styles, and the same paper often has to change style for a new venue. All seven major styles are built in, and because each source is stored as structured data, switching the whole document from one to another is a single action: every in-text marker and every reference reformats at once. You pick the style your assignment or journal needs, and change it later without retyping a thing.
Citing is part of writing, not a chore for the end. You make a claim, attach the source, and the in-text marker appears right there in the sentence, while the reference flows into the bibliography automatically. The list stays in sync as you add, remove, or reorder sources, so by the time the draft is done the references are already complete and correctly ordered, with nothing to assemble afterward.
A source you cited last month should not have to be looked up again. Citations you add are saved to your library, where you can organize them into collections, dedupe repeats, and pull them into any new document. Across essays, reports, and papers, you build a personal reference library that grows with your work, so citing a familiar source is a click, not another search.
