Scite.ai Guide

FSU Libraries provide a 1-year pilot subscription to Scite.ai to all FSU users from March 7, 2025 - March 6, 2026. The pilot subscription was made possible by partial funding from the Student Tech Fee. 

Scite.ai Smart Citations is an AI-powered tool for research, and its development was funded by both NSF and NIH. Its platform coverage includes 187+ million publications across all science topics/fields, 2.0+ billion references, and 1.3+ billion citation statements from the peer-reviewed full-text literature both from open-text and behind-the-paywall. The Scite Assistant helps you easily search and find specific answers from a wide range of peer-reviewed literature while also identifying the most supported and contrasted research in a given field, especially in STEM and social science disciplines.
