Insights on scientific research, citations, and scholarly publishing.
Asking ChatGPT to write your literature review is one of the least useful ways to use it. Here's how to use ChatGPT as a research interface with the Scite plugin, so discovery and reference checking speed up while the argument and writing stay yours.
See what drives AI token costs in literature research, where the waste collects, and how grounding with Scite cuts spend while keeping citations verified.
This month we focused on two things: helping you stay on top of the research that matters to you, and giving you more visibility and control over how you use Scite across your AI tools.
Systematic reviews with ChatGPT stall on unverifiable citations. See how the Scite MCP grounds every stage of the process in real, verified literature.
This month we focused on meeting you where you already work. Collections are now fully manageable inside the MCP, AI-powered suggestions help you find your next question across the platform, and small teams can now get set up on Scite in minutes.
Smaller models hallucinate. So do expensive ones. Ground any LLM with the Scite MCP for accurate citations at a fraction of the cost.
AI can make a literature review faster without turning it into a one-click writing exercise. See how to use Scite across the full process—from discovery to the final reference audit—while keeping a researcher in control.
May was about giving you more room to work and more ways to organize what you find. We introduced a new plan for power users, brought a better way to organize your research into the platform, taught Assistant to read your own documents, and expanded the data you can reach through Scite.
Scite MCP now reaches 719K+ clinical trials and 3.5M+ grants alongside Smart Citations, so papers, trials, and funding sit within a single prompt.
Collections brings your research into one place — a dedicated space to gather papers, monitor them over time, and run focused, scoped questions against exactly the set you care about.
April was about expanding where Scite's intelligence lives and what it can search. We extended the Scite MCP beyond the published literature to cover patents, clinical trials, and grants; launched a new microsite to showcase what Scite + AI clients can produce; and made it faster than ever to get started with one-tap Google sign-in.
Search 90M+ patent families alongside academic literature in Scite. Patent Search and Scite Assistant now unify IP and research data in one place.
Scite is now available as a verified connector in the Claude directory. Add it in one click to ground Claude's answers in real peer-reviewed literature with citations you can verify.
Students can connect Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools to Scite via MCP to search literature, check citation context, and access full texts. But their institutional access comes from their Scite account, not their AI tool — so the way patrons set up the connection matters. Here's what librarians need to know to get students linked to their library's license the first time.
This month we focused on making Scite Assistant more flexible and easier to use — from summarizing articles by DOI, to saving your preferred settings, to dragging citations wherever you need them. We also refreshed our website with new landing pages and a redesigned blog.
Connect Scite to Claude Code to search scientific literature, verify references, and evaluate how papers have been cited while you work on your dissertation.
Starting in 1977, Eugene Garfield's Citation Classics series at ISI invited the authors of highly cited papers to write short commentaries on their own work. Over 15 years, more than 4,000 scientists told the stories behind their most influential publications: the failed experiments, the lucky breaks, the collaborators who made the difference. It was one of the most human things ever done with citation data.
Admin Analytics gives administrators at universities, enterprises, and research institutions full visibility into how their researchers are using the Scite MCP inside their AI tools — what content is being accessed, how it's being used, and who's using it. And it connects that usage data directly to your collections infrastructure so you can act on it.
February was about making Scite more powerful, more connected, and easier to use. We expanded how you can access Scite's citation intelligence, removed barriers to deeper research, and made significant improvements across Assistant, Search, and Dashboards.
Most AI tools have a fundamental problem: they aren't grounded in real evidence. That's the problem Model Context Protocol (MCP) solves.
