Scite
Overview
Scite Assistant is an AI-enabled research tool designed to help you find research-backed answers and collaborate on written materials. The tool provides insights and gives you control over its thought process, allowing for a more customized and interactive experience.
You can use Assistant to ask questions and it will provide informed answers using large language models (LLMs) designed specifically for research workflows.
Beyond providing answers, Assistant also helps you find supporting and contrasting evidence for your research study. One key feature is the control settings that allow you to steer the Assistant towards specific tasks.
For instance, you can let the Assistant decide whether references are needed or override its behavior. You can also specify search filters like year ranges, topics, publication types, or journal names when searching for papers.
Moreover, you can instruct the Assistant to use only papers from a specific collection or journals that you are interested in. You can also control the length of the Assistant's responses.
The goal of Scite Assistant is to provide an AI-powered research partnership experience that puts the user's needs and preferences at the forefront. In doing so, it offers a unique blend of AI-powered expertise and user-driven customization to optimize research tasks.

Ron Jayson🙏 79 karmaMar 1, 2024@Scholarcyeasy to pick up and you get a few free file imports. it gives you results pretty fast, unfortunately i can't find a way to get back to these, they're locked behind the paid service. -
I've tried to find the exact articles via WoS, Google, or Scopus. Despite using a very advised and complicated search query, it was just a waste of time. Perplexity didn't help either. The Jenni AI, which may add useful links when generating text, finds nothing but trash. SciScape gave exactly what I needed from the first query! A couple of fresh relative articles with very exact topics!

Such an impressive platform for all of us who are looking for more efficient ways to do the investigation. OpenRead has the potential to solve our problems.

I’ve been using it for a month now and I have decided to keep it for a year. There definitely are some kinks they can still work out like file management, but it’s very good at it’s core function: it generally does a good job answering questions and most times identifies PDFs automatically and correctly. The browser plugin works great, and it’s very nice that Papers allows you to add your university’s library API so you can automatically download PDFs that are accessible through your institution (sometimes it refuses to download some papers, so you just have to downlow it yourself and manually add it). The iPad and Android apps are serviceable. Every once in a while it will mess up the PDF identification, especially with papers from either very old sources or online-only journals. Things they must work on: * A much better system to annotate PDFs (the post-it type notes are cumbersome). * Introduce a notepad attached to each PDF or some way to easily link and save the AI’s output to the PDF. Currently, you have to add a little post it note and then paste the text there. * Keep the AI answers available after closing the documents. If you close the document by mistake or have several open and wish to close some, the ai conversation will be reset. * I REALLY wish that you could get citations and links to where the info was from extracted from PDFs. Currently, I have found Coral.ai does a much better job of showing you where the info came from and it even highlights it for you. Give it a try, their 30-day no credit card needed trial allowed me to truly test it, and now I’m a yearly subscriber looking forward for new additions and releases.
