Quick Summary
Scite, a potential new e-resource vendor for Minitex, is an AI tool that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through their Smart Citations, that display the contact of the citation.
Scite is an award-winning platform built on the world's largest citation statement database. Scite has analyzed 1.2 billion citations from 200 million sources to create Smart Citations, which provide context and classify citations as supporting or contrasting evidence. This database also powers an AI chatbot, Assistant, and a literature search engine.
Seeing how an article has been cited is vastly more useful than simply seeing how many times an article has been cited. With scite, researchers can more effectively discover and evaluate research articles by directly seeing what subsequent publications say about their findings through citation statements, the in-text references from papers where citations happen.
