BROOKLYN, NY — February 24, 2020 — scite, an award-winning platform for discovering and evaluating scientific articles, and the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), the leading publisher for crystallographic research, have partnered to display Smart Citations from scite in articles published by the IUCr.

With this partnership, full-text articles from IUCr journals will be analyzed and indexed by scite, improving the discoverability of IUCr articles and further improving the coverage of scite. Additionally, IUCr articles will also now display Smart Citations from scite, allowing readers to better see how an article has been cited by subsequent articles and, specifically, if they have provided supporting or contradicting evidence.

Josh Nicholson, co-founder and CEO of scite says, “We’re excited to work with the IUCr to implement Smart Citations. I worked in a crystallography lab as an undergraduate so I’m happy to be working with this community again to make it easier to discover and evaluate research.”

Peter Strickland, Executive Managing Editor for IUCr journals says, “IUCr journals values this new partnership with scite and the innovative use of deep learning to provide new ways of navigating the scientific literature.”

About scite

scite is an award-winning platform for discovering and evaluating scientific articles. Utilizing deep learning, scite allows users to see how a scientific paper has been cited and, specifically, if it has been supported or contradicted. scite has classified 485 million citation statements from 15 million scientific articles and is used by researchers from dozens of countries around the world. scite is funded in part by grants from the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health.

About the IUCr

The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) is a scientific union adhering to the International Science Council. Its objectives are to promote international cooperation in crystallography and to contribute to all aspects of crystallography, to promote international publication of crystallographic research, to facilitate standardization of methods, units, nomenclatures and symbols, and to form a focus for the relations of crystallography to other sciences.
