scite

Scite is an AI-powered research platform that provides contextualized citation analysis and evidence-grounded answers from the scientific literature. It searches across 280 million full-text articles, patents, clinical trials, and datasets, then uses Smart Citations to label each citation as supporting, contrasting, or merely mentioning a finding. Every answer links back to the original source sentence for verification. The tool integrates with Zotero, ChatGPT, and Claude via MCP, and offers full-text search beyond abstracts. It is designed for researchers, PhD students, and professionals who need to verify claims, understand citation impacts, and efficiently conduct literature reviews. Typical use cases include checking whether a paper's findings have been replicated or disputed, discovering related research, and building evidence-backed arguments.
