Scite

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Review::Scite is a citation analysis and discovery tool that seeks to improve the transparency, reliability, and interpretability of research, developing a system that not only evaluates the quantity but also synthesizes the impact of citations, setting it apart from legacy citation databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. The platform's distinguishing feature is its "Smart Citations" function, which adds context to scholarly references. Instead of simply indicating that an article has been cited, Scite categorizes the citation as supporting, mentioning, or contrasting. The system draws on the surrounding text of each citation—usually the preceding, current, and following sentences—to show whether a work is affirmed, critiqued, or cited neutrally. This added layer of context helps users quickly assess an article's role within the scholarly conversation, making it easier to identify influential studies, trace debates, and evaluate the credibility of cited claims.
