Today's researchers have access to vast information, whether within the library or any place that provides access to the Internet, and frequently the access is free of charge. Such places can include school, home, office, restaurants or coffee houses. Access to information is available from smart and handheld devices such as Smartphones, as well. But now, more than ever a researcher must have a discerning sense of authoritative information. Information seeking has become a rapidly growing trend across society. And as technology continues to evolve, how we seek information and determine its authenticity will present challenges for teaching users how to remain information literate. Additionally, one cannot be information literate without the development of related skills such as critical thinking.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
