Scite Assistant
Scite Assistant was specifically developed for academic research. You can pose research questions in plain language and receive evidence-based answers supported by Scite’s unique Smart Citations database, reducing the risk of hallucinations and enhancing the reliability of information. It offers numerous filters and customization options to refine results.
Scite Assistant also offers detailed citation context, allowing you to see the exact text snipped used for each citation and provides direct links to the full text of cited publications. This enables you to verify sources, assess the accuracy of the information, and ensure the credibility of the references through transparent, traceable citations.
Smart Citation
Powered by deep learning, Smart Citation offers you contextual insights from citing papers, indicating whether a cited study supports, contrasts, or merely mentions a scientific claim. This helps you quickly assess how a paper fits within the broader field of study and identify related studies of potential interest.
Additionally, Smart Citation contains information on retractions, corrections, errata, or expressions of concern, ensuring you are aware of any issues affecting the credibility or reliability of a cited work.
Other key features:
- Citation Reports: Scite provides dynamic reports and visualizations to reveal citation patterns, trends, and the influence of specific articles and authors within a field.
- Researcher Accounts: You can create profiles to showcase your research, monitor citations, track conversations with the AI assistant, and connect with peers in your field.
- Reference Check: Allows you to upload Word or PDF documents and assess the quality, accuracy, and reliability of the references they contain.
- ai Browser Extension: A handy tool that allows you to instantly view Smart Citations while reading scientific articles on the web, adding context and reliability checks in real time.
