Scite
Citation analysis tool that shows how papers have been cited — supporting, contrasting, or mentioning — helping researchers evaluate the credibility and impact of scientific claims.
Why It Matters
A paper with 500 citations sounds impressive until you learn 400 of them are contradicting its findings. Scite shows citation context, revealing whether papers have stood up to scrutiny.
Limitations
Requires understanding of citation context · Coverage varies by field · Premium features needed for full value
