scite is a citation database designed to assist students and researchers in discovering and understanding research.[1][2][3] It is a subscription-based service that aims to allow users to see how and why a research article, researcher, or key topic has been cited by showing the citation's context from citing articles. scite contains over 1.1 billion citation statements extracted and analyzed from over 31 million full-text research articles.[4] It is similar in approach to Shepard's Citations, but works on research articles and preprints.

History

scite was conceived in 2014 by Josh Nicholson and Yuri Lazebnik as a response to growing concerns around the reproducibility of scientific research.[5] They sought to make it easier to see if a research article has been supported or contrasted in the literature by subsequent studies. Nicholson, with a PhD in cell biology from Virginia Tech,[6] previously founded The Winnower and briefly served as CEO of Authorea, two companies aimed at helping researchers publish and collaborate, and Lazebnik had been a professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.[7]

The concept behind scite was previously discussed by Eugene Garfield in 1964, where he discussed "citation markers," suggesting linguistic markers like "critique" or "data spurious" could appear in the citation index along with the usual citation data.[8] Other groups have also previously built tools to look at such citation context,[9] and various groups have performed smaller scale citation classifications.[10]

Funding

scite was awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the US National Science Foundation in 2019 for $225,000.[11]

Awards

scite won the ALPSP Award for Innovation in Publishing in 2019, [12] the ISMTE People's choice award for most innovative idea in 2019, [13] and was runner up for the Vesalius Innovation Award in 2020.[14]

Services

Universities

scite works with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, University of Hong Kong, and Toulouse School of Management, to provide students and researchers with the citation tool.

Publishers

scite works with publishers and societies, including Wiley, the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society, the National Academy of Sciences, SAGE Publishing, ArXiv, and many others to extract and analyze citation statements from research articles and display "Smart Citations" directly on the article page.[15][16][17][18][19] scite also runs an automated Twitter bot that notifies users when an article cites a retracted study, post-retraction.[20][21]
