scite_enrich_item
Get a Scite citation report for one paper: supporting, contrasting, and mentioning citation counts, plus editorial notices. Use to vet a paper's reception before citing.
Instructions
Fetch a Scite.ai citation report for ONE paper: supporting, contrasting, and mentioning citation counts, the total citing-publication count, and any editorial notices (retraction, correction, expression of concern, erratum). Use this to vet a paper's reception before citing it — richer than a bare citation count. Provide EITHER doi OR item_key (not both needed; doi wins if both are passed). If you pass item_key, the tool pulls the DOI from that Zotero item and fails clearly if none is recorded. doi: the DOI string, with or without 'https://doi.org/' prefix — leading prefixes/whitespace are normalized. item_key: 8-character Zotero item key; must have a DOI in metadata or the 'Extra' field to be resolvable. No Scite account or API key required — uses the free public endpoints, so calls can fail transiently: expect 'Could not reach Scite API — try again later' when Scite is slow or unreachable (not a permanent error). For batch enrichment across many items, use scite_enrich_search (search + enrich in one call); for a retraction scan across a collection/tag, use scite_check_retractions. Example: scite_enrich_item(doi='10.1162/tacl_a_00638') or scite_enrich_item(item_key='RTKZQI8E').
