Scite

Scite is revolutionizing scientific research by providing context around how research papers are cited in the scientific literature. Unlike traditional citation counts that only show how many times a paper is cited, Scite's AI analyzes the citing context to determine whether the citation supports, contrasts, or merely mentions the findings. This "Smart Citations" approach shows you not just that a paper is cited, but how the scientific community is using that research—whether they're confirming findings, disputing results, or building upon the work. Scite Assistant acts as an AI research assistant that searches and analyzes scientific literature with deep understanding of citation patterns and research validity. The platform has analyzed over 1.2 billion citations from more than 200 million articles, classifying each as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning. This is invaluable for researchers assessing the reliability of findings, students conducting literature reviews, journal editors evaluating submissions, and anyone seeking to understand the scientific consensus around a topic. Scite also provides citation statements—the actual sentences where papers are cited—giving you immediate context without reading entire papers. The Reference Check feature analyzes your manuscript to flag potential issues with citations, helping ensure research integrity. For institutions, Scite offers insights into research impact and helps identify influential work. The platform integrates with reference managers and provides browser extensions for accessing citation analysis while browsing. Scite makes the invisible web of scientific validation visible, helping researchers navigate the literature with unprecedented insight into how the scientific community views each piece of research.
