EthnoHack 2026 Traditional Knowledge Mining

Plant knowledge.
With a paper trail.

Find proposed plant use records in published sources. Check the original passage, record your review, and export the evidence with its context intact.

No account needed. Use a real source from the starter corpus.

The workflow

From a passage
to a reviewable record.

One source trail, through every step.

  1. 01

    Bring the source.

    Choose a starter paper or import permitted text. Citeflora saves the snapshot and citation, then proposes plant use records.

    Text, supported files, or open literature
  2. 02

    Check the record.

    Read the highlighted passage. Inspect identity and uncertainty, correct fields when needed, and save your review decision.

    Original extraction stays unchanged
  3. 03

    Keep the trail.

    Explore reported associations and download your records with citations, review status, source spans, and recorded uncertainty.

    PDF, DOCX or DOC, with citations and aligned fields

Context is part of the finding

The plant.
The passage.
The provenance.

A plant name and a use are only the beginning. The original wording, preparation, citation, and uncertainty matter when someone checks the record later.

Citeflora keeps that context attached. Your corrections and decisions sit beside the extraction, with a review history you can inspect.

For researchers

Bring your next source.

Build a collection you can check. Import a permitted passage, inspect the proposed records, and preserve the reasons behind your decisions.

For judges and first visits

Follow one real record.

Open a published source, inspect its passage, save a review, and export the result. The guided example uses the working application.

Before you begin

A clear scope.
An inspectable method.

01What does Citeflora actually do?

It proposes plant and reported use records from English text using a deterministic rule engine. Each candidate points to the exact passage in a saved source snapshot. You check the result, record a decision, and export the evidence. It is not a trained AI model.

02Who is it for?

Researchers, students, and data curators working with published ethnobotanical literature. It helps organize and inspect reported knowledge. It does not provide personal health advice or identify plants from photographs.

03Where does the starter material come from?

The starter corpus contains 43 selected table rows from 2 attributed CC BY studies, covering 18 source-reported taxa. It is a small working corpus, not the full papers, a comprehensive literature review, or new field research.

04Does an accepted record mean a treatment works?

No. Acceptance records your review of the extraction against its source. A traditional use report does not establish clinical effectiveness or safety. Taxonomy suggestions also do not establish the identity of a historical specimen.

05Can I bring my own sources?

Yes. Paste permitted English text, upload PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, HTML or JSON, or use the six-column CSV template. You can also search Europe PMC and prepare a narrative import when its licence is supported. Add the citation and permission basis before saving.

06How are my reviews saved?

Sources and review decisions are stored in Cloudflare D1 in a workspace associated with this browser. The session cookie lasts 30 days. There are no user accounts or cross-device sync. Download a formatted PDF, DOCX or DOC report to keep a portable copy.
