Students can use Scite to check whether a source is reliable by seeing if other researchers support or challenge its findings. The citation maps help them understand how a study fits into the larger research conversation and whether it’s a strong choice for an assignment. Scite also helps students avoid outdated or contradicted sources and choose evidence that will strengthen their papers and presentations.
