The volume of data being published on the Web and made available as Open Data has significantly increased over the last several years. However, data published by independent publishers are sliced and fragmented. Creating descriptive connections across datasets may considerably enrich data and extend their value. One way to standardize, describe and interconnect the information from heterogeneous data sources is to use Linked Data as a publishing technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
