Scite
Analyze scientific citation reliability and build your literature review with verified sources
Overview
Scite stands out with its unique 'Smart Citations' feature: it shows not just who cites an article, but whether those citations are supportive, contradictory, or mere mentions. Its base covers 1.2+ billion analyzed citations, letting you gauge the real robustness of a scientific study.
For a doctor, researcher, or consultant ensuring a study's soundness before relying on it, Scite is irreplaceable. The Personal plan starts at ~$17/month. The browser extension displays citation metrics directly on Google Scholar or PubMed.
Our verdict
Indispensable when source quality truly matters: healthcare professionals, life-sciences consultants, science lawyers. More technical than Elicit or Consensus (plan for learning time). For simple article search, Consensus suffices and costs less.
