Before step 1
you will need
- OpenAI/Anthropic API key
- access to open-access full-text sources (arXiv, PMC, bioRxiv)
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Scite. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- coverage of paywalled publishers (Wiley, Cambridge, Wolters Kluwer, etc.)
- pre-built citation database spanning hundreds of millions of citation statements
- retraction/correction flags sourced from Crossref and PubMed
- browser extension overlay on Google Scholar and journal pages
- reference-check tool for uploaded manuscripts
