What is scite?
scite is a research platform that classifies citations by whether they support or contradict a claim and offers an AI assistant grounded in scientific literature. Its browser extension shows citation information while reading articles, which helps R&D, medical and policy teams check evidence.
scite is part of Research Solutions, headquartered in Henderson, Nevada. The platform covers more than 300 million papers and offers Smart Citations, full-text citation search, collections, citation alerts and dashboards. The Assistant answers questions with references to the literature. Pro adds API access and datasets on patents, clinical trials and grants. An MCP connection lets AI tools query scite, metered in MCP credits. The browser extension displays citation badges on web pages. Organization plans are available through sales.
