Scite

💫 Our cooperation with Scite so far is quite an amazing story💡It's a story about how people in the #team can #inspire each other: One of the youngest tenured members of our team, Damian Kujawa, told us a few months ago how in college he used a cool tool for finding sources and citations - Scite.ai. I looked into the tool, got in touch with its creators via Beatrice Bourgogne, encouraged the board to take an interest in this tool, but in order to better understand how it works and its potential use for Wikimedia Polska...I included it in the recruitment process for the position of Open Science Manager. All candidates in the final round had to give a 15-minute presentation, showing the potential use of Scite.ai for the Polish #Wikimedia community. This broadened our knowledge and gave us a new perspective. Currently, it is the newly hired Open Science manager, Katarzyna (Kasia) Makowska, who is leading the cooperation with Scite.ai, which you will hear about in a webinar soon. Thanks to her efforts and to the great openess of Scite the Polish Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia community will get the opportunity to test the platform 👷♀️ ✅ Check out the details about the webinar and join us on July 23 💻 👇

Just when you think you're done with your research paper, that pesky reference list looms over you! 😅 If only there was a tool that made it easier by showing how your sources are cited and supported by others. 🧐 #Citations #Academic #AI

There are many search and discovery tools that help researchers and students better discover and understand research. What makes Scite different is our partnerships with publishers. We work directly with publishers to index and analyze citation statements extracted from full-text articles–this is unique. With some publishers like The Royal Society this means analyzing articles over one hundred years old! Pretty cool to see that Scite was able to classify a citation statement extracted from a paper published in 1897 (our oldest contrasting citation statement in Scite)

On this National Work From Home Day, we celebrate the collaboration and flexibility that remote work fosters, allowing our team to thrive regardless of geographical boundaries. As a global remote team, we understand the benefits of this modern work style, creating productive and supportive spaces and promoting a healthy work-life balance. Our amazing team has shared photos of their unique work-from-home setups. From cozy corners to canine coworkers, these snapshots reflect the diverse and creative environments where we thrive. Share your remote work setup and experiences below! 💻🏡 #NationalWFHday #WFH #Remote #Team

Not all citations are created equal. There are various reasons why someone might cite a certain paper, from reproducing methodology to contrasting a claim. So, why do we treat all citations the same? And, how can we simplify the way we analyze them? With Scite, examining the context of citations in a paper is much easier and faster. Check how it works below! #AI #Citations #Publishing

“Scite as a tool for smart citation analysis of academic publications and highlighted that the widespread adoption of smart citations could reshape academic practices and is crucial in assessing the importance and quality of scientific research, as simple citation counts are limited in providing a comprehensive understanding of a paper’s contribution” https://lnkd.in/e99PZ9V4

It's official -- I am co-presenting with Josh Nicholson, an author of Measuring the Impact of Scientific Publications and Publication Extenders: Examples of Novel Approaches. Curr Med Res Opin. 2024 Apr;40(4):677-687. Users of these metrics come from academia, government, and industry. My perspective will be from the pharma sector, and immediately following will be an open forum for other user perspectives.

Today, more than 21,800 journals have received a new Impact Factor (IF). We believe that it is time to evolve the use and display of citations at the article level, as well as at the journal level. Here's why... IF was created as a metric to help librarians decide which journals are important to subscribe to. It is now more or less a mark of prestige. The IF is a simple ratio of the number of citations received in a year for publications in a journal that were published in the two preceding years. As shown in the literature and as we have demonstrated at Scite–not all citations are created equally. At Scite, we have developed a measure that looks at the ratio of supporting and contrasting citations at the journal level, called the Scite Index (SI). The SI for any journal with enough of these types of citations can be seen on our thousands of journal dashboards: https://scite.ai/journals If you’re a publisher and are interested in making sure your content is indexed in Scite, please PM me.

Exciting to see more and more universities use Scite to power their research. Welcome Purdue!
