Overview

Scite — Smart citation analysis that shows how research has been cited, supported, or contradicted.

Scite is an AI-powered research platform that goes beyond simple citation counts by analyzing the context of every citation. It reveals whether a paper has been supported, contradicted, or merely mentioned in subsequent research, giving scientists and academics a far richer picture of a study's reception and reliability. Researchers can search across millions of citation snippets, build reference libraries, and set up journal-level alerts. The platform integrates with Zotero and supports browser extensions for inline citation context while reading papers.
