(29 Apr 2026) Research Solutions announced the launch of the Scite Claude Connector, bringing Scite’s full-text search, Smart Citations, and institutional holdings resolution directly inside Anthropic’s Claude. The connector joins Scite’s existing ChatGPT app, extending Scite’s presence to the two most widely used AI assistants in research.
Once enabled, Claude users can search across more than 250 million scientific articles, check whether any claim is supported, contrasted, or mentioned by the broader literature, and access full-text content through their institution’s holdings, all without leaving a Claude conversation. The connector is now available to Scite subscribers on any paid Claude plan.
Large language models generate fluent text on almost any topic, but their coverage of peer-reviewed literature is limited, and they often struggle to distinguish well-supported findings from contested ones. The Scite Claude Connector addresses this by grounding Claude’s answers in verifiable sources, with Smart Citations indicating whether each reference supports, contrasts, or mentions a given claim.
Key Capabilities Of The Scite Claude Connector
- Full-Text Search Across Licensed Content: Search more than 250 million scientific articles, including paywalled content accessible through institutional holdings.
- Smart Citations: Identify supporting, contrasting, and mentioning citations to evaluate how well a claim is backed by the broader literature.
- Institutional Holdings Resolution: Automatically route researchers to full-text access available through their library.
- Verifiable Answers: Each claim returned by Claude is linked to a citation that researchers can access and review.
- Seamless Setup: Available in the Claude connector directory; researchers can authenticate with their Scite account in two steps.
The Scite Claude Connector is now available to all Scite subscribers with a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). Organizations interested in deploying Scite across research teams or building custom AI research workflows can learn more at scite.ai or by contacting their Research Solutions account representative.
