Searching for citations usually means one of two things:
- How can I find an article to cite to support my research?
- How can I find out what is citing an article?
We will look at both of those to help you quickly get started with scite.ai
How can I find an article to cite to support my research? How can I find a citation or reference for my paper?
This is essentially literature search or searching for a primary article.
You are looking for an article that will support or be critical of your arguments in your research or help you learn about a research question.
scite.ai provides two ways to do this, good old publication search and a new type of search, searching for how research questions and topics have been used in citations, called citaiton statement search.
