Scite is an AI-powered research tool that aims to change the way researchers and academics assess scientific information. In contrast to the traditional citation indexes we have used, which only keep track of the number of reference citations, Scite offers Smart Citations, which indicate how a paper is cited: whether it supports a piece of research, disputes it, or only mentions it. This functionality enables users to better assess the validity of research and its impact and significance. Using state-of-the-art machine learning and natural language processing, Scite scans millions of academic articles and their citations and can provide accurate real-time information. It provides researchers with reliable literature reviews, students with support for academic writing, and publishers/institutions with help to ensure the integrity of research.
Scite is a more transparent, reliable mechanism for students, academics, and researchers to interact with the literature. The user-friendly interface and AI capabilities within this tool provide critical support in the context of enhancing research quality and scholarly communication.
