Spider read scite.ai in 131 ms without a browser and returned 107 lines of clean markdown, including sections like "More than articles", "Works where you work" and "Built for verification, not just answers".
Ask a question, get answers grounded in the scientific literature### More than articlesResearch doesn't live only in journals. Scite's database extends to patents, clinical trials, grants, preprints, and datasets, so you can trace an idea from funded proposal to published finding to commercial application.### Works where you workScite runs inside Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible assistant, plugs into Zotero, and is available through our API for teams building their own tools. You don't have to change your workflow to get research you can trust.### Built for verification, not just answersEvery claim Scite's AI makes links back to the specific sentence in the specific paper it came from. You can check the work in one click. That's the difference between an answer you can cite and an answer you have to re-verify.### Trusted by researchers and organizations around the worldOver 2,000,000 researchers, students, and industry experts trust Scite"Scite is an incredibly clever tool. The feature that classifies papers on whether they find supporting or contrasting evidence for a particular publication saves so much time. It has become indispensable to me when writing papers and finding related work to cite and read.""As a PhD student, I'm so glad that this exists for my literature searches and papers. Being able to assess what is disputed or affirmed in the literature is how the scientific process is supposed to work, and Scite helps me do this more efficiently."Kathleen C McCormick, Ph.D Student"Scite is such an awesome tool! It’s never been easier to place a scientific paper in the context of the wider literature."The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine"This is a really cool tool. I just tried it out on a paper we wrote on flu/pneumococcal seasonality... really interesting to see the results were affirmed by other studies. I had no idea."### Do better researchJoin Scite to be a part of a community dedicated to making science more reliable.The same call, in code.
