What it does
Scite is an AI-powered research platform for searching and evaluating scientific literature. It indexes full-text articles, preprints, books, patents, clinical trials, grants, and datasets. Smart Citations show whether later research has supported, challenged, or discussed a paper or claim, and every AI answer links back to the specific sentence in the source paper.
Scite helps researchers check how a paper or claim has been treated in later literature. Its Smart Citations label citations as supporting, challenging, or discussing, which can save time when you need to see whether a finding has held up. The AI Assistant answers questions using full-text sources and links each answer to the exact sentence in the paper it came from, so you can verify the source yourself. Scite also runs inside Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible assistants, and it connects to Zotero and an API. The platform is built on licensed agreements with 44+ publishers plus open access content, so coverage depends on those agreements. Pricing starts with a 7-day free trial, then a paid subscription; the Basic plan is listed at $12 per month billed yearly, and API access is part of the Pro plan.
