About Know

Smarter Research with AI and Verified Citations

Scite is an AI-driven research platform built to help students, researchers, publishers, and corporations quickly evaluate academic literature. It transforms traditional citation tracking by showing the actual context of citations—whether they support, contrast, or simply mention the referenced work.
