Quick guide

What it is

Scite is a citation intelligence platform that analyzes over 1.2 billion citation mentions across 180 million papers, classifying each one as supporting, contrasting, or simply mentioning the cited claim.

What it's for

Seeing at a glance whether a paper has been supported or contradicted by later research ("Smart Citations"), and auditing the references in your own manuscript before submitting it.

When to choose it

To assess the real strength of a scientific claim beyond citation count, or to review the quality of an article's references before publishing it.

Getting started
  1. Go to scite.ai and try the free plan (limited searches)
  2. Search for a paper and review its Smart Citations (supporting/contrasting/mentioning)
  3. Use Reference Check by uploading your own manuscript to audit its citations
  4. Install the browser extension to see Smart Citations while browsing the web
Pricing

Very limited free plan. Individual $20/month ($200/year) with unlimited access to Smart Citations, Reference Check, and the AI assistant. Team $30/user/month. Institutional from $5,000/year.
