Scite

Overview

Scite is a research tool that uses artificial intelligence to help researchers discover and evaluate scientific articles. It provides 'Smart Citations' that show how a publication has been cited, including whether the citation provides supporting or contrasting evidence. This allows users to see the context of citations and assess the impact and reliability of research. Scite is designed for researchers, students, and professionals who need to quickly understand the landscape of scholarly literature.
