Scite goes beyond standard citation counts to show how papers have been cited — specifically whether subsequent papers support, contrast, or simply mention the claims of the original. This context transforms citation data from a popularity metric into a quality signal. The Smart Citations feature shows you, for any paper, how many subsequent papers have agreed with its findings versus challenged them. The Assistant chat lets you ask research questions and receive answers supported by real, verified citations with context. For researchers evaluating the credibility of findings, identifying contested claims, or building arguments on solid scientific foundation, scite's distinction between supporting and contrasting citations is genuinely invaluable.
