  • Scite.ai - Access available through the McMaster Library databases list. Scite is a tool which offers a quantitative and qualitative insight into how scientific publications cite each other. Scite uses access to full-text articles and its deep learning model to tell you, for a given publication:
    • how many times it was cited by others
    • how it was cited by others by displaying the text where the citation happened from each citing paper
    • whether each citation offers supporting or contrasting evidence of the cited claims in the publication of interest, or simply mention it.
