Recite Works

This week I made a wonderful discovery, an application called Recite. It is a tool that lets you check that all your citations are in your list of References, and vice versa, that everything in your list of References has been cited in the body of your article.

 


Test, Fix and Repeat

Recite is accessed through your Google Account in the Chrome web browser. Readers of the Travel Writers Online magazine blog probably already have a free Google Account. The makers of Recite let you run a free test on a short essay, but you can signup for just a month for the price of a couple of cups of coffee. This monthly sub lets you upload whatever you’re writing as many times as you like. This process of test, fix and repeat is very useful as you resolve each of the issues with your in-text referencing.

I wish I’d discovered Recite in the spring when we were working as a team of three on a research methods article for a tourism journal in Poland. First, the journal editors wanted APA 7 style, which I’d not heard of back then, and we all had different systems for storing our bibliographies, from EndNote to Zotero. But the story has a happy ending, I found Recite in time to begin editing the chapters for our new tourism textbook in August 2025. It means that contributors can check their chapters to resolve any referencing issues before the typescript goes to the publisher’s proof-readers.  I've checked my own chapter and Recite does find issues that I missed myself.

PhD in Contemporary Travel Writing

 PhD in Contemporary Travel Writing Syddansk Universitet Writing Travel in the Twenty-First Century: Mobility and Authenticity in the Planetary Emergency Travel is older than human civilization itself. Migration, trade, tourism and pilgrimage, all are forms of human movement that have existed for millennia. Yet travel is no longer what it used to be. Slow travel, flight shame, sustainable travel, eco- and anti-tourism, staycation and microadventures are but some of many recent terms testifying to a growing awareness that mobility has become inextricably intertwined with planetary concerns, regardless of whether it is the short distance of a commute to work, or that of long-distance globetrotting. With 2024 likely proving to be the hottest year on record and tourists evacuated by boat from uncontrollable forest fires on Rhodes in 2023, all the while tech billionaires promise us trips to Mars and hotels on the moon (while others perish trying to reach the Titanic), we are also told t...

AI Detector

I've been looking at AI Detectors that are now stable and easy to use. The first one to write about is from a company based in Montreal, and so, as you would expect from that bilingual city, it works on English and French texts. It's called Winston AI. The AI detector tells you if written copy is generated by a human or an Artificial Intelligence text generator robot. It uses a graphic sliding scale. The software also detects plagiarism and presents a thorough list of any copied content it has found. As a user of Winston AI you just paste text into the quick scan option. You can upload bigger documents in the following formats: .docx, .pdf, .png and .jpg for the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system to convert to electronic text from scanned documents or pictures. This also works on handwriting like Google Lens and the other handwritten text readers and convertors do. The Winston AI Detector works in projects, this lets you label or title pieces you are examining for plagi...
