Scite
AI-powered Smart Citations for faster, more credible research, showing the context of how any paper has been cited.
Scite is an AI research platform that analyzes over a billion citation statements to provide "Smart Citations." These citations categorize the context—as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning—of how a paper has been cited by subsequent research. This allows academic researchers, students, and professionals to quickly assess the credibility and impact of scientific literature, perform in-depth literature reviews, and get evidence-based answers from an AI research assistant.
