Scite
Smart citations that show if research is supported, mentioned, or contradicted by later studies.
About Scite
Scite: Citation Intelligence
Scite goes beyond simple citation counts to show how research is cited. Using AI, it classifies each citation as supporting, mentioning, or contradicting the original claim—giving researchers unprecedented insight into the reliability and impact of scientific work.
How Smart Citations Work
Traditional citations only tell you that Paper B referenced Paper A. Scite reveals:
- Supporting citations — Later research confirms the finding
- Mentioning citations — The work is referenced without taking a position
- Contradicting citations — Subsequent research challenges the claim
This context helps you evaluate whether a paper's conclusions have held up over time.
