What is Scite? 

Scite is a research discovery and analysis platform that can help you to discover and analyse relevant research publications. It can also provide you with indicators as to how and why papers receive citations (through the Smart Citations feature).  

Smart Citations provide additional context around the citations a publication has received by indicating whether these offer supporting or contrasting evidence for a particular claim. This can be useful in helping you to assess the publication landscape of your chosen research topic. Further information on how to use this feature effectively is available here:

Scite also offers a prompt style “Assistant” interface which allows you to ask simple questions and get answers collated from the full-texts of millions of research articles. Further information on using this feature is available here:

 
Scite is provided by a Brooklyn-based start-up and is funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
