scite

scite provides a unique approach to research by analyzing citations in context. Instead of just counting citations, it classifies them as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning, giving researchers insight into how findings have been received by the scientific community. The platform's smart citations display the surrounding context of each citation, allowing users to quickly understand why a paper was cited. The AI assistant can answer research questions using evidence from its database of over 1.2 billion citation statements. scite is used by researchers, publishers, and institutions to evaluate the reliability of scientific claims, identify controversial findings, and discover related work. It integrates with reference managers and offers browser extensions for in-context citation analysis.
