SCITE

The library now has a one year trial to the database scite, which enables users to identify scholarly debates. 

STUDENT AND RESEARCHER USE CASES

Student uses:

•  enables upper undergraduate and graduate students discover scholarly debates and unresolved research areas on which they can write class papers;
• helps identify topics for theses or dissertations.

Researcher uses:

• can help identify shape research agendas by enabling discovery of topics that require further work;
• email alerts can help track support or disagreement with a researcher's prior published results;
• can be useful in writing review articles that discuss opposing views.

This guide provides a "sample exercise" and points to resources for your further exploration of advanced or more sophisticated uses of the database.

Please contact the science librarian with any comments about how you found scite useful:

• if you are a student, did it help in writing a paper? If you are a researcher, did it help you identify a topic for a research agenda?
• did you use it with other databases?
