Scite Showed Me Which Papers Disagree Before I Wrote the Review
Scite made skim a literature disagreement faster once I stopped using it wrong.
Most of my AI use is 'make this easier.' I treated skim a literature disagreement like a chore until I found a way to make it a ten-minute job.
I reach for Scite for this. shows how papers cite each other so you see support or dispute.
I finish by doing the one thing the tool cannot: judge whether this is actually good. Scite handles the volume; you handle the call.
Then I let Scite do the draft, but I keep my hands on the result. Scite shows how papers cite each other so you see support or dispute, and that is exactly where it earns the time back.
The step most people rush: review the output in place instead of regenerating from scratch. The easy part: Scite leans coverage toward the already-indexed and the obvious, so a quick edit beats a fresh prompt almost every time.
What surprised me: leans coverage toward the already-indexed and the obvious. Watch that before you blame the tool.
What changed: Scite turned skim a literature disagreement from a half-day into a ten-minute job I no longer dread.
