Scite AI
NewAI research platform that shows how scientific papers have been cited—supporting, contrasting, or mentioning each other.
About Scite AI
Scite is an AI-powered research intelligence platform that goes beyond traditional citation counts to show how scientific papers actually cite one another—whether citations are supporting, contradicting, or simply mentioning the referenced work. By classifying over 1.2 billion citation statements extracted from 200 million scientific articles, Scite enables researchers to quickly assess the weight of evidence for or against a scientific claim. Its AI Assistant lets users ask research questions and receive synthesized answers backed by citation evidence from the scientific literature. Scite's Smart Citations feature is embedded in journal browser extensions, showing citation context directly on publisher pages. Researchers use Scite to identify contested findings, track how their own work has been received, and conduct evidence-based literature reviews with unprecedented context.
