Scite, an award-winning platform used by students and researchers to discover and understand the scientific literature better, has partnered with IGI Global, an independent academic publisher of Business & Management; Scientific, Technical, and Medical (STM); and Education books and journals, to enhance citations and create deeper research insights for its global audience.
IGI Global joins over 40 major and mid-sized publishers as they collaborate with Scite to develop Smart Citations. Pioneered by Scite, Smart Citations go beyond traditional citations by showing citation statements, which indicate where references are used within citing articles and classify whether the paper provides supporting or contrasting evidence to the cited claim. To date, Scite has analyzed and indexed over 1.3B citation statements extracted from more than 37M full-text articles.
Smart Citations were developed using sophisticated machine learning models that extract and analyze citation statements from full-text articles at scale. This information is embedded in a citation badge that helps researchers quickly and easily see how and why an article has been cited and engaged with in subsequent research -- providing a more nuanced and richer source of information than a simple citation count and list of cited articles without context.
IGI Global has integrated Smart Citation badges into its platform, adding to the over 3M articles that display Smart Citations from other publishers like Wiley, The Royal Society, Wolters Kluwer, The American Chemical Society and The National Academy of Sciences.
