Scite

Research search that shows how other studies support or dispute a finding

Scite searches research papers and for each one shows the citations: which works support its finding and which dispute it. Its AI assistant answers questions with references to papers. It helps analysts, HR and finance people check whether a claim from a presentation has a scientific basis.
