Arctic Centre and Umeå University Library welcomes you to our online Arctic seminar where Igor Osipov introduces the Scite tool that assists you to analyze citations effectively and accurately.
Igor Osipov is employed at the company Scite, and has been involved in the thematic network for research analyses by the University of the Arctic for many years. He introduces the Scite tool – a database that can be used to discover and evaluate scientific articles via Smart Citations. Smart Citations allow users to see how a publication has been cited, as they provide the context of the citation. They also provide a classification that describes whether the publication has supporting or contrasting evidence for the cited claim.
With the Scite tool, researchers can check Smart Citation metrics at the level of articles, journals, organizations, and funders. Scholars can run reference analyses on their own papers. Students can ask research questions in plain language and get answers directly from the full text of research articles. A browser extension enables users to see Smart Citations anywhere they're reading a scientific article online.
Scite recently launched the Scite Assistant feature, which validates ChatGPT texts and ensures there are no false statements, providing a source reference for every statement made. All publicly available resources from Scite are below:
There is a test version of the Scite tool available for researchers at Umeå University, via the University Library’s website. It is available for a year, from April 2023. On this seminar, Igor Osipov will explain how to use the tool to create a more effective and precise citation analysis.
The thematic network for research analyses Is called “Thematic network on Research analytics and bibliometrics” and created by the University of the Arctic. The network is now led by Umeå University.
The seminar is a joint collaboration between the Arctic Centre and the Umeå University Library, and is aimed toward researchers, PhD Students, Master Students, and employees at the library. Please join and learn more about the Scite tool, and how you can use it!
