About Scite

What Is Scite?

Scite is an AI-enhanced citation analysis tool that shows not only how many times an article has been cited, but whether those citations support, contradict, or merely mention the article’s findings.

Its signature feature, Smart Citations, provides context for citations, helping students understand the credibility, influence, and scholarly debate surrounding research.

Why It Matters for TCC

Scite helps students:

  • Evaluate source reliability
  • Understand the scholarly conversation
  • Avoid citing outdated or contradicted research
  • Strengthen evidence-based writing

It also supports faculty who teach research literacy, source evaluation, and critical thinking.
