Where Scite is stronger

  • It classifies how each citation uses a paper, across 1.7 billion citation statements; AgingResearch.News does not read citations that way.
  • It has full-text indexing agreements with publishers.
  • It has a Zotero plugin and a browser extension that badges citations.
  • Its higher plans add patent, clinical trial and grant datasets, and regulatory and safety data (FAERS, MAUDE, 510(k)).

Where AgingResearch.News is different

  • It reads each new aging paper as it appears and judges what the paper's own work shows about aging.
  • The papers worth reading become short stories in plain words, each checked against its paper.
  • A treatment's evidence is shown as structure: the species it reached, independent labs and countries, findings against, trials with no results posted, funders and company ties.
  • Reading needs no account, and a free account adds Ask, follows and the Monday digest.
