Scite

Scite is an AI-powered platform for finding and analyzing scientific publications with a focus on citation context. It helps researchers quickly see how a paper is cited—whether later studies support it or challenge it.

Key features

• Smart Citations: analyzes citations to show whether follow-up research supports or disputes the original findings
• AI assistant scite: an LLM-based assistant that answers questions about papers and helps generate research ideas
• Advanced literature search: searches not only metadata (title, authors, abstract) but also citation statements
• Collections: build and analyze sets of papers by topic
• Citation tracking: review how your own work is being cited
• Journal dashboards: journal details such as rankings and top authors

Scite’s Smart Citations database analyzes 1.2 billion citations to surface relevant research.

How to use Scite
