iCite

iCite is a tool created by the U.S. National Institutes of Health that helps measure the impact of scientific research articles. It compiles data on how often a paper is cited by other researchers, indicating its significance within the scientific community. Analysts and institutions use iCite to assess the influence and reach of research outputs, guiding decisions about funding or evaluating scientific progress. Essentially, it provides a clear, data-driven way to see how influential a scientific paper is based on how frequently it is referenced by other researchers.
