Smart Citations are the foundation of everything Scite does. Our deep learning model analyzes 1.6B+ citation statements and classifies each one as supporting, contrasting, or mentioning — so you can see not just how many times a paper has been cited, but how it's been cited. No other platform offers this level of citation intelligence at this scale.

Scite Assistant is an AI research tool backed by 300M+ full-text articles, including paywalled content from 30+ publisher partners. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, every answer is drawn from peer-reviewed literature and linked to its source. Use it for literature reviews, fact-checking, research discovery, and staying current — with evidence you can actually verify.

Most academic search tools only match on titles, abstracts, and keywords. Scite Search lets you match on citation statements extracted from the full text — surfacing relevant findings, methods, and claims that never appear in an abstract. Discover papers through citation chaining, filter by section, type, or journal, and set alerts to track new results automatically.

A Scite Report gives you a quantitative and qualitative view of every citation a paper has received. See the exact text from each citing paper, filter by classification, section, year, or source type, and quickly determine whether a study's findings have held up. Reports turn what used to be weeks of manual full-text review into minutes — and they're available for every paper in our index.

![Reports](https://scite.ai/assets/images/illustrations/features-reports.png)

Create collections of articles from Zotero, Mendeley, a CSV of DOIs, or directly from search results — then monitor how citations accumulate over time. Collections alert you to new supporting or contrasting citations, flag retractions, and give you a living view of how a research area is developing. Use them to track your own publications, monitor a competitor's output, or stay on top of a field.

A fast, reliable way for authors, editors, and peer reviewers to evaluate citation quality before publishing.
