It's been over a year since we first launched scite Assistant, and we've been hard at work making improvements based on the valuable feedback from our users. We recently unveiled a brand new look for scite Assistant along with several enhancements to improve your experience.

As a psychology professor, I regularly teach research methods courses. Over a two-course sequence, I teach my students various approaches to empirical psychological research. This culminates in a semester-long project in which students formulate a hypothesis, design a study, collect and analyze data, and communicate the results.

Bibliometrics is a field of study that involves the quantitative analysis of scholarly publications and their citations to evaluate various aspects of research, such as impact, productivity, and collaboration. The history of bibliometrics can be traced back to the pioneering work of Eugene Garfield, who introduced the first citation index for sciences in 1953 (Masic, 2016).

We’re excited to enter a new phase of our journey at scite by coming together with [Research Solutions](https://www.researchsolutions.com/). The motivation behind this decision was our desire to further our mission of introducing the next generation of citations and better serve our users, publishers, and the scholarly ecosystem for the long term.

Literature reviews and critical analyses take time. In order to write high quality research you need to engage with the literature, read the references being cited, read the citations to the paper and make sure you understand the field as a whole. Collecting and reading all relevant references and citations takes a long time. scite helps you **spending less time on research and writing** while simultaneously **boosting the quality of your work** by presenting what is said about a paper right away.

Brooklyn, NY — February 23, 2023 — scite, an award-winning tool that helps researchers discover and understand research findings more efficiently through Smart Citations, has partnered with Colabra, provider of a modern GxP-compliant Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) and project management tool, to enhance the citation experience on the Colabra platform.

One question that we sometimes get is how scite might impact early career researchers (ECRs). For example, many metrics (e.g., the h-index) have a built-in bias against ECRs, as those in a given field for longer periods have more time to accumulate more citations, and in turn increase their score.

One question that often comes up relates to coverage: that is, how many articles are indexed in scite, and how many do we have citations from? This question is sometimes posed as a comparison to other services such as Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed.

One of my favorite pastimes is using scite to find active areas of research - topics that invite lively discussion, or hypotheses that are highly contested. This can be accomplished by searching for a topic and filtering the results to only show articles that have a relatively high number of both supporting and contrasting citations.

Is the new year time to make a new you? Let’s use scite to see what science says about New Year's resolutions.

As the holiday season is now upon us, let’s have a little fun and use scite’s new “Ask a Question” feature to find out what the scientific literature says about this time of year.

As a researcher and really just as a human nowdays, we’re surrounded by a lot of claims, conjectures, opinions, and really just bullshit. As a psychologist, this got me thinking… What does the research say about bullshit and bullshitting. So, using [Ask A Question](https://scite.ai/search?mode=question-answering), I asked:

scite has partnered with SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, to enhance the research experience on the SPIE Digital Library.
