Scite

Scite - Search AI Tool

Citations with a verdict attached.

Scite classifies each citation as supporting\, mentioning or contrasting the work it cites — so a highly cited paper that is mostly being disputed looks very different from one being confirmed.

Raw citation counts hide that distinction entirely\, which is how discredited findings keep circulating. Smart Citations fix it. The free Connect tier gives 25 MCP credits monthly\, and Basic at $20 adds full assistant and search access.
