scite
scite is an award-winning platform for discovering and evaluating scientific articles through Smart Citations that show how a paper has been cited.
About scite
scite helps researchers and students better understand scientific literature by providing Smart Citations. Unlike traditional citation counts, scite uses deep learning to categorize citations as supporting, mentioning, or contrasting evidence. This allows users to quickly see the context of a citation and evaluate the credibility of a scientific claim without reading the entire paper.
