How a request works

Scite Assistant and Scite MCP follow the same basic path when they answer a question.

  1. 01

    Search

    A person asks a research question. Scite searches the literature for papers that may help.

  2. 02

    Read

    Scite opens the most relevant results and reads the available paper text.

  3. 03

    Choose

    The assistant decides which papers are useful for the answer.

  4. 04

    Answer

    A few papers may be used in the final response. Not every read becomes a citation.

What appears in a report

We group activity by week, author, DOI, and AI tool. Reports show which papers were read, which tools requested them, and how activity changes over time.

What the data does not show

The report only covers activity through Scite systems. It does not cover every AI response on the internet. It does not show who asked a question or the text of a private request.
