For researchers
Before the research enters any review process.
Research moves through informal channels before it becomes formal. Manuscripts go to co-authors before journals. Methodologies are shared across institutions before agreements are in place. Thesis chapters reach supervisors long before the final submission. Lyricsmit gives you a private, independent record of your work at the moment it exists — before it goes anywhere.
Before peer review
Your manuscript, methodology, or findings are submitted for peer review — a process that can take months and involves multiple reviewers. A Lyricsmit record timestamps your document before it enters that process, establishing when your work existed in its current form.
Cross-institution collaboration
Research often moves across universities, labs, and external partners before any formal agreement covers the IP. Timestamp your contribution before sharing it with collaborators at another institution.
Before conference submission
Abstracts, papers, and presentation materials are submitted well before a conference date. A timestamped record of the submitted version exists independently of the conference system's own logging.
Proof of existence. Not an institutional claim.
Lyricsmit does not replace IP agreements, institutional policies, or legal filings. It creates an independent timestamped record showing a specific file existed at a specific moment — verifiable by anyone with the link, at any time.
That record exists outside any journal platform, university system, or collaboration portal. It is permanent and independently verifiable using RFC 3161 trusted timestamp infrastructure.
Every document you timestamp becomes part of your Creative Record Archive — a private, growing history of your research work. Lyricsmit stores the cryptographic fingerprint and timestamp, never the file itself.
How it works
01
Upload your document
PDF, Word, LaTeX, or any file. Lyricsmit generates a SHA-256 cryptographic fingerprint. The file is never stored.
02
Get the timestamp
An RFC 3161 independent timestamp is recorded. You receive a permanent record ID and a shareable verification link.
03
Verify anytime
Anyone with the link can check the record. No account needed. Independent of any institutional system.
