Scite AI
NewAI platform that shows how scientific papers have been cited—whether supporting, contrasting, or mentioning.
About Scite AI
Scite is a novel research intelligence platform that goes beyond traditional citation counts to show how a paper has been cited—specifically whether citing papers support, contradict, or simply mention the original work. This Smart Citation system enables researchers to quickly assess the reliability and reproducibility of published findings, identify contested claims in the literature, and discover papers that have failed replication. The platform also includes an AI research assistant that can answer questions by synthesizing evidence from scientific papers with smart citations to support its responses, and a reference check feature that verifies citation accuracy in manuscripts.
Pros
- Smart Citations reveal whether studies support or contradict cited papers
- Identifies contested and potentially unreliable findings in published research
- AI assistant grounds responses in actual scientific citations
Cons
- Smart Citation classification requires Pro subscription for full access
- Classification coverage still growing—older papers have fewer smart citations
