AI-native workspace for literature reviews and auditable systematic reviews
Ask a research question in plain language and get a synthesized answer drawn from PubMed, arXiv, OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar, with every claim linked to its source paper.
Run PRISMA-style reviews with a predefined protocol, recorded screening decisions, dual independent reviewers and a conflict resolver, and a PRISMA diagram generated from your actual counts.
Import from Zotero or Mendeley, add papers by DOI, and get metadata and open-access PDFs fetched automatically, with annotations and notes that feed every other workflow.
Define custom extraction columns and have AI fill them across many papers, with each value linking back to the sentence it came from, exportable to CSV or Excel.
AI answers grounded in 300M+ scholarly full texts
Ask a research question and get an answer assembled from the scientific literature, with every claim linked to its originating paper and sentence.
Search more than 300 million articles, preprints, books, patents and datasets using full text rather than abstracts alone.
See at a glance whether later work supported, contrasted with, or mentioned a paper, claim, author, journal or institution.
Run Scite inside ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants, or tap citation data through the Zotero plugin and browser extension.
