What it is

Scite's Smart Citations classify how each citing paper treats a study as supporting, contrasting or merely mentioning it, so you can judge a claim's standing rather than just its citation count. An AI assistant answers questions with references drawn from this citation index, and a reference checker flags retracted or weak sources in your bibliography. Answers can bury the point under citations, and reference detection depends on DOIs and PDF formatting so it misses some.
