"Consensus is an academic search engine, powered by AI, but grounded in scientific research. We use language models (LLMs) and purpose-built search technology (Vector search) to surface the most relevant papers. We synthesize both topic-level and paper-level insights. Everything is connected to real research papers." Learn more here...

"How does it work?

• To create each graph, we analyze an order of ~50,000 papers and select the few dozen with the strongest connections to the origin paper.
• In the graph, papers are arranged according to their similarity. That means that even papers that do not directly cite each other can be strongly connected and very closely positioned. Connected Papers is not a citation tree.
• Our similarity metric is based on the concepts of Co-citation and Bibliographic Coupling. According to this measure, two papers that have highly overlapping citations and references are presumed to have a higher chance of treating a related subject matter.
• Our algorithm then builds a Force Directed Graph to distribute the papers in a way that visually clusters similar papers together and pushes less similar papers away from each other. Upon node selection we highlight the shortest path from each node to the origin paper in similarity space.
• Our database is connected to the Semantic Scholar Paper Corpus (licensed under ODC-BY). Their team has done an amazing job of compiling hundreds of millions of published papers across many scientific fields."

"Assistant is a conversational tool made by scite that lets you ask questions in simple language and get answers backed by real, up to date references. Think of like ChatGPT with real, up to date references, tailor-made for anyone discovering, understanding, or writing research.

What about hallucinations / fake references?

When you see references on the right panel, you can rest assured that these are real papers with real DOIs in our database. While generative language models can hallucinate and fabricate information, we mitigate this by validating their claims against our database of over 1.2 billion Citation Statements and metadata from over 187 million papers. Plus, for any suggested reference, we highlight the sentences from their full-text so you can see where and why it's relevant and verify the responses yourself."
