Using Copublio

Effective date: 15 November 2026. These terms are offered by Copublio (“we”), an independent service based in North Sumatra, Indonesia. These terms apply when you use the Copublio citation checker at copublio.com. By using it you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

What Copublio does

Copublio compares the author–date citations in a manuscript with its reference list and reports possible inconsistencies, such as a citation with no matching reference, a different year or spelling, or an entry that is never cited. It also points out some common APA 7 citation-style slips.

Copublio is a review aid. It does not check whether a source exists or says what you report, does not detect plagiarism or AI-generated text, and does not assess every APA formatting rule. A finding is a prompt to look again, and an absence of findings does not mean a manuscript is free of errors. You remain responsible for your work and for any decision to change or submit it.

Your manuscript

You keep all rights in the documents you check. The current checker reads and analyzes documents inside your browser; we do not receive your manuscript (see the privacy policy). Only check documents you are entitled to use. If a document contains other people's confidential or personal information, make sure you are allowed to process it.

Acceptable use

Please do not try to disrupt the service, get around any usage limit or payment, copy the service to offer a competing product, or use it in a way that breaks the law or another person's rights.

Paid features

The checker is currently free. If paid features are offered, the price, what is included, how long access lasts, renewal, cancellation and refunds will be shown before you pay and will form part of these terms. No payment is collected at present.

Availability and changes

We aim to keep Copublio available and accurate, but we do not promise uninterrupted service or that every result is correct. We may change, suspend or end features. We will update these terms when the service changes and show the new effective date on this page.

Liability

Copublio is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for decisions made on the basis of a report, such as a submission outcome. Because the checker is free, our total liability to you in connection with it is limited, to the extent the law allows, to the amount you have paid us, which is currently nothing. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be limited by law, including consumer rights in your country of residence.

Independence

Copublio is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the American Psychological Association. “APA Style” is used only to describe the style the checker follows.

Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Indonesia, without affecting mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live. Questions: support@copublio.com.
