Scite: Understand Research Impact with Smart Citations & AI
Description
In the ever-expanding world of scientific research, it's not just about how often a paper is cited, but how it's cited that truly matters. Scite is an AI-powered platform that goes beyond traditional citation metrics to provide a deeper understanding of research impact and influence. By analyzing the context of citations, Scite empowers researchers, students, and professionals to make more informed decisions and navigate the complexities of scientific literature.
Smart Citations: Unveiling the Context
Scite's Smart Citations feature is a game-changer in research evaluation. Instead of simply counting citations, it analyzes the full text of millions of scholarly publications to identify and extract citation statements. This provides valuable context, showing you exactly how a paper is being used and interpreted by other researchers.
Each citation is classified as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning the cited work. This nuanced understanding allows you to assess the credibility and impact of a publication more accurately. Are other researchers building upon the findings, challenging them, or simply mentioning them in passing? Scite provides the answers.
AI Assistant: Your Research Companion
Scite's AI Assistant acts as your personal research guide, helping you answer research questions by providing relevant evidence from scientific literature. Simply ask a question, and the AI Assistant will search through its vast database of citation statements to provide you with supporting or contrasting evidence, accelerating your literature review and deepening your understanding.
