Tue Aug 17 2021

BROOKLYN, NY — August 17, 2021 — scite, an award-winning Citation Database for discovering and understanding research articles via Smart Citations, and Informatics Publishing Ltd., Bangalore, a leading provider of Information products and services to higher education and research market in India, have partnered to launch and market the Scite in India.

The partnership builds upon an already established working relationship between the two companies, including the integration of scite’s Smart Citations into J-Gate, a search and discovery tool developed by Informatics and used by hundreds of universities. In addition to the integration of Smart Citations, Informatics will also act as the exclusive re-seller of scite in India.

Informatics has a long and successful track record of providing innovative information access, delivery and management tools for education and research in India, even selling citation databases as early as the 1990s.

Mr. N V Sathyanarayana, Chairman & Managing Director of Informatics says, “scite is a new generation citation database which is going to re-define citation metrics. The idea of determining whether the author has cited a paper supporting or contradicting the claims made by the cited paper in the citing context is a ground-breaking innovation developed by scite using AI & deep-learning techniques.

Josh Nicholson, co-founder and CEO of Scite says, “I first met Sathya two years ago at the Charleston Library Conference and he has been a joy to work with since then. His knowledge and experience in this space and especially in India have been invaluable to me, and I’m thrilled to announce this partnership with Informatics as we continue to bring the power of scite to researchers everywhere.”
