March 2026 Release Notes

This month we focused on making Scite Assistant more flexible and easier to use — from summarizing articles by DOI, to saving your preferred settings, to dragging citations wherever you need them. We also refreshed our website with new landing pages and a redesigned blog.

Assistant DOI Summaries

You can now paste one or more DOIs directly into Assistant and get summary responses for those articles. This is especially useful when you already have a set of papers and want quick summaries without searching for them individually. We also improved our PMID-to-DOI handling, so you can paste PMIDs and Assistant will resolve them more reliably.

Saved Settings

Assistant now lets you save up to 5 named settings presets. If you frequently switch between different configurations — different source filters, citation contexts, or topic scopes — you can now save each setup and switch between them in one click instead of reconfiguring every time.

Assistant Improvements: Fact-Checks, Citation Popups, Applied Settings

We made several improvements to the Assistant experience this month:

• Fact-Checks. The fact-checking information shown during the Assistant response now persists when you come back to previous Assistant sessions.
• Draggable Citation Popups. You can now click, drag, and reposition any citation popup in an Assistant response. Keep a reference visible on screen while you continue reading or scrolling — making it much easier to cross-reference as you work.
• Applied Settings. Each response now shows a summary of the settings that were active when that query was run, so you can always verify your results came from the right configuration.

New Landing Pages

We updated our MCP page and added new pages for features, integrations, and data. We also redesigned the main navigation across the site. If you're curious about what Scite connects to or what data powers our platform, these are good places to start.

Redesigned Blog

We completely redesigned the scite.ai/blog for better readability and a cleaner layout. If you're reading this there, you're already looking at it.

Unified Profile

We brought the same unified sidebar experience to user profile pages and simplified the overall profile layout. Navigation across the product should now feel more consistent and intuitive.

What's Next

• File uploads in Assistant. Soon you'll be able to upload any file directly to Assistant for analysis and summarization.
• Collections. We're building the first version of Collections — a better way to organize and revisit your research in Scite.
• Patents, clinical trials, and grants in the MCP. We're expanding the data available through our MCP integration to include patents, clinical trials, and grants alongside our existing article and citation data.

Thank you for using Scite. And, as always, we'd love to hear your feedback.
