Scite transforms how researchers interact with scientific literature by providing deep context around citations. The platform uses advanced natural language processing and machine learning to analyze full-text articles and extract citation statements, classifying them as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning the cited work. This classification system helps researchers quickly assess the credibility and impact of scientific papers beyond simple citation counts.
The platform provides access to over 200 million scholarly sources through licensed agreements with major publishers, combining both Open Access and paywalled content. Researchers can search across 1.5 billion citation statements to find specific mentions of methods, datasets, results, or claims across the scientific literature. The Smart Citations feature displays the exact context of each citation, showing how and where research has been referenced by other studies.
Scite offers multiple interconnected tools for research workflows. The AI Assistant answers research questions by synthesizing information from scientific papers with transparent citation support. Citation Statement Search allows targeted queries across billions of extracted statements. Custom Dashboards enable tracking of research topics, authors, or paper collections with real-time alerts for new citations. The Reference Check tool scans manuscript bibliographies to identify retracted papers or disputed findings. Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge overlay Smart Citation metrics directly on article pages. Integration with Zotero and Mendeley synchronizes citation intelligence with existing reference management workflows.
