The Kelvin Smith Library (KSL) at Case Western Reserve University is excited to introduce Scite, an AI-powered research assistant specifically tailored for students, faculty, and staff at research universities. Scite enhances research capabilities by offering unparalleled access to scholarly literature, setting itself apart from other AI tools. Scite empowers researchers by helping overcome writer's block, facilitating quick revisions, and offering customizable citation styles in APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, and more. It provides a deeper understanding of research areas, showing if any paper or topic has been supported or challenged by newer research. In addition, the Reference Check feature prevents accidental citing of post-retraction articles, ensuring the integrity of academic work. Scite supports over one million scientists, writers, publishers, librarians, and researchers worldwide, championing reproducible science.
