Karger has joined forces with Scite, an award-winning platform within the Research Solutions product family, used by more than one million students and researchers to discover and better understand scientific literature.
Scite is the world’s largest citation statement database that continually monitors 200 million scholarly sources and analyzes 1.3B+ citations extracted from 37M full-text articles to create Smart Citations – which provide context and classify citations as supporting or contrasting evidence. The database also powers its AI Assistant and literature search engine, thereby providing researchers with unmatched insight into any topic.
Smart Citations were created using advanced machine learning techniques to efficiently extract and analyze citation statements from full-text articles at scale. This data is integrated into a citation badge, which allows researchers to quickly and easily understand the reasons behind an article’s citations and its influence on subsequent research. This approach offers Karger authors and readers a deeper and more informative perspective than just a basic citation count or a list of referenced articles without context.
Josh Nicholson, co-founder of Scite and Chief Strategy Officer of Research Solutions, remarked, “We’re honored to collaborate with Karger, as we expand our deployment of Smart Citations. Together, we can make research more discoverable, understandable, and ultimately reliable. The long-standing Karger tradition of connecting people and science firmly aligns with our goal of working together as a scientific community for better research outcomes.”
“Providing fast and easy access to the latest scientific research is our mandate,” says Christian Box, Head of Academic & Research Markets at Karger. “We are thrilled to integrate Scite Smart Citations into our portfolio to enhance the author and reader experience and make research more discoverable and reliable.”
Karger Publishers has integrated Smart Citation badges into its online journal content across all 100 Karger journals on Karger.com.
