Abstract:The university man's work is the pursuit of knowledge… [and the university's] aim is to equip the student for the work of inquiry, not to give him facility in the conduct of affairs that turns such knowledge to 'practical account'" (Thorstein Veblen 1918, 13).
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.
