What it is

Scite searches more than 300 million scholarly articles and gives citation-backed answers. Its Smart Citations show the sentence where a later paper cites a study and classify whether it supports, disputes or just mentions it. It includes an AI Assistant, citation reports, collections, alerts and citation badges for other sites. Scite is part of Research Solutions.

It suits researchers, students and editors who need to know how a claim has held up. There is no ongoing free plan: paid plans start with a 7-day free trial. Basic costs $12 a month billed yearly; Pro, at $40 a month billed yearly, adds API access and patent, clinical trial and grant datasets.
