For many years, mathematics education researchers have been fascinated by the mathematics that is generated and used outside of institutions of learning. This is the mathematics that allows unschooled and sometimes illiterate people to practice crafts and trades, conduct business transactions, and make their livings in a variety of ways that depend on knowledge of what we call mathematics.
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.
