Scite Features

Scite Features

Research tools built on evidence, not guesswork.

Every Scite feature is powered by 1.6B+ Smart Citations and 300M+ full-text articles — including paywalled sources other AI tools can't access.

Know whether a finding has been supported or contradicted — before you cite it.

Smart Citations

Smart Citations are the foundation of everything Scite does. Our deep learning model analyzes 1.6B+ citation statements and classifies each one as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning — so you can see not just how many times a paper has been cited, but how it's been cited. No other platform offers this level of citation intelligence at this scale.

Citing Publications

View Citations

Scite shows how a scientific paper has been cited by providing the context of the citation, a classification describing whether it supports, mentions, or contrasts the cited claim, and a label indicating in which section the citation was made.

Get answers grounded in real research — not generated from the internet.

Assistant

Scite Assistant is an AI research tool backed by 300M+ full-text articles, including paywalled content from 30+ publisher partners. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, every answer is drawn from peer-reviewed literature and linked to its source. Use it for literature reviews, fact-checking, research discovery, and staying current — with evidence you can actually verify.

Search inside the research, not just the metadata.

Search

Most academic search tools only match on titles, abstracts, and keywords. Scite Search lets you match on citation statements extracted from the full text — surfacing relevant findings, methods, and claims that never appear in an abstract. Discover papers through citation chaining, filter by section, type, or journal, and set alerts to track new results automatically.

See the full picture of how any paper has been cited — and whether you can trust it.

Reports

A Scite Report gives you a quantitative and qualitative view of every citation a paper has received. See the exact text from each citing paper, filter by classification, section, year, or source type, and quickly determine whether a study's findings have held up. Reports turn what used to be weeks of manual full-text review into minutes — and they're available for every paper in our index.

Organize and monitor the papers you care about.

Collections

Create collections of articles from Zotero, Mendeley, a CSV of DOIs, or directly from search results — then monitor how citations accumulate over time. Collections alert you to new supporting or contrasting citations, flag retractions, and give you a living view of how a research area is developing. Use them to track your own publications, monitor a competitor's output, or stay on top of a field.

Additional Features

Reference Check

Upload a manuscript PDF and instantly see how every reference has been cited by others — including whether any have been retracted, received editorial notices, or accumulated contrasting findings. A fast, reliable way for authors, editors, and peer reviewers to evaluate citation quality before publishing.
