Built by scholars for scholars

Know more. Miss less. Trust your citations.

A research workspace that remembers your work, searches the literature and the data behind it, and checks your manuscripts with traceable evidence.

20.4M: indexed works
50K: datasets
24.2M: searchable variables
28: data repos

What you get

Context that compounds. Search that reaches the data. Checks you can trust.

Reference library workspace with a collection sidebar, imported references, and bulk actions

01

Personalized knowledge base

Your interests, publications, library, and search history in one place. Build a profile from Interest Tags and public Google Scholar, ORCID, or homepage pages; organize papers in collections; import BibTeX, RIS, or EndNote files. A Zotero plugin syncs this library with Zotero in both directions.

Demo profile Learn more

Semantic literature search form with general, source, and Web of Science performance filters

02

Research article search

Search 20.4M works from Web of Science–indexed journals by meaning, by keyword, or both at once. Narrow by year, citations, open access, journal, Web of Science category, or JCR quartile. Free, with no account.

03

Dataset and variable search

Find the data behind the literature: 50K social-science datasets from 28 archives and repositories, searchable down to the 24.2M individual variables in their codebooks. Where the archive states them, each result shows its access terms: open, registration, application, on request, or restricted.

04

Research alerts tuned to you

Daily, weekly, or monthly email digests built from your profile, papers you pick from your library, or a plain-language brief. An AI planner turns that context into several searches, and each digest separates the latest research, the closest matches, and the classics.

Demo alerts Learn more

Citation report summary with identified references, retraction and venue-risk flags, and unresolved works

05

Citation and manuscript checks

Upload a PDF or DOCX. Every reference is looked up in OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed, and arXiv, and the report flags retracted works, predatory venues, citations missing from the bibliography, references that cannot be found, and citations that look off-topic for their claim, each with the evidence behind it. Section-by-section recommendations follow.

For AI agents

Give your AI agent the same tools.

miscite runs an MCP server and a matching REST API. Literature, dataset, and variable search need no token. With an API token from your account, an agent can also work with your library, profile, alerts, and citation checks.

Read the agent guide (llms.txt)

Paste this into your AI agent:

Read https://miscite.review/llms.txt, then add the miscite MCP server it describes (https://miscite.review/mcp).

MCP endpoint https://miscite.review/mcp · Streamable HTTP
