About CitedExperts

About CitedExperts

The independent expert verification directory

Why We Built This

Digital PR has a fake expert problem. Too many “experts” in major publications are fabricated personas, real people with fake credentials, or stock photos with made-up names.

CitedExperts brings transparency to expert sourcing – an independent verification layer journalists can trust.

  • No badge = Listed but not verified
  • 🟢 Expert Verified = Expert proved ownership
  • 🛡️ Mod Verified = We checked placements exist
  • ⚠️ Under Review = Flagged, investigating
  • ❌ Suspected Fake = Determined fake
