What sets Scite apart?

  • Scite's publisher access with logos for Royal Society, Karger, Wiley, BMJ, and others, shown next to a locked, grayed-out alternative

    Search content other tools can't reach

    Scite is built on the largest licensed database of scholarly content in AI research, with agreements across 40+ publishers plus the full open access corpus. When other tools hit a paywall, they guess. Scite reads the paper.

  • An academic paper with supporting and contrasting Smart Citations highlighted, alongside scite tally counts

    Citation intelligence, not citation counts

    A paper cited 500 times tells you nothing about whether those citations support it, contrast it, or just mention it in passing. Smart Citations classify every citation as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning, with the surrounding sentence shown in context. Apply that same analysis to a paper, a journal, an author, an institution, or a funder. Our AI uses those signals too, grounding every answer in the weight of evidence.

  • Diagram showing Scite connects patents, clinical trials, datasets, grants, preprints, and articles

    More than articles

    Research doesn't live only in journals. Scite's database extends to patents, clinical trials, grants, preprints, and datasets, so you can trace an idea from funded proposal to published finding to commercial application.

  • Diagram showing Scite integrates with Claude, ChatGPT, Zotero, MCP-compatible tools, a browser extension, and a developer API

    Works where you work

    Scite runs inside Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible assistant, plugs into Zotero, and is available through our API for teams building their own tools. You don't have to change your workflow to get research you can trust.

  • An AI Assistant answer linked by a citation to the specific sentence in an academic paper

    Built for verification, not just answers

    Every claim Scite's AI makes links back to the specific sentence in the specific paper it came from. You can check the work in one click. That's the difference between an answer you can cite and an answer you have to re-verify.

"Scite is an incredibly clever tool. The feature that classifies papers on whether they find supporting or contrasting evidence for a particular publication saves so much time. It has become indispensable to me when writing papers and finding related work to cite and read."
