scite.ai Pros and Cons

The assistant saves so much time during literature reviews and the ability to customize the response (number of sources, response length) allow you to tailor the output to exactly what you are looking for, whether it is a brief summary of current literature or a deep dive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the literature review doesn't deliver the exact results I am expecting (e.g. missing a key paper I manually identified), so some iterating of the prompt is required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using scite primarily for figuring out which citations are favoring a particulr paper and which are opposing. For this use case, scite is excellent, and has no competition. It is easy to use, which is definitely a major positive. Their customer support is also very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI Assistant can be made much better. I used it a few times and found that the statements that it is attributing to papers are not 100% accurate. In my testing, it did not hallucinate about a paper (i.e. did not create a paper that did not exist), which is a big positive. Also, I like the fact that the Scite Assistant is rather customizable in terms of how many articles, types of articles. As far as I understand, scite Assistant is NOT doing semantic search though. It would have been nice to have some kind of a semantic search option built, that would make this tool even more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool speeds up the writing process enormously, where I would previously have to search the paper archives with key words, it gives me summaries and links to the relevent papers very quickly. The whole process becomes much more efficient and researchers are less likely to overlook a relevent paper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had to test it before I could trust it, but it has been performing well so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy using scite.ai, particularly the Assistant feature. While it could benefit from a better contextual understanding of some of my searches, the resources it finds for my queries are generally phenomenal. I appreciate being able to adjust the settings to receive long, medium, or short responses. The reference list that is generated when I copy the text makes creating my bibliography incredibly easy.

Although scite.ai has already passed its foundational stage, I wish there was an option to purchase a lifetime subscription. Nevertheless, the 40% discount when subscribing yearly is incredibly generous. I also use Afforai.com, but it doesn’t compare in terms of functionality and relevance of the responses generated by scite.ai. Access to Semantic Scholar, which can connect to full articles to provide more depth to the query response, would be helpful. While I understand that it would require a lot of AI power to read through full-length texts to answer questions asked to the Assistant, it would make things much easier.

I have been using scite.ai for years. Even before the integration of GPTs like Assistant, it has been very useful for literature review of my dissertation. The ease of use with Assistant has facilitated my research process and has made it easier for me to digest scholarly papers. I also appreciate the ability to evaluate papers based on the number of citations, agreements, disagreements, and mentions. Overall, it's a very useful tool.isagreements, and mentions. Overall, it's a very useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue I have is that when I export the references from Assistant to Zotero or Endnote, the volume and issue number of the paper are missing. I hope they can resolve this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scite is a very useful tool for academic research. It finds very good references on the topic you are interested in and summarizes the subject according to these references. You can export them to the reference tool you are using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
