scite
An AI research platform that finds scholarly literature and shows how papers are cited.
What it is
scite combines literature search, an AI research assistant, citation reports, and Smart Citations that label supporting, contrasting, or mentioning citation contexts. Paid plans add larger credit allowances, datasets, and API access.
Ways to use it
Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.
- Find research papers related to a policy or workplace question.
- See whether later papers support or challenge a frequently cited study.
- Open the exact citation context behind a research claim.
- Draft a sourced literature overview for expert review.
- Track citations to a paper used in an ongoing briefing.
Our take
scite is particularly useful when a brief needs to show how a study has been received by later research. Use it to locate the debate, then cite and interpret the original studies directly.
