Scite's Claude Connector embeds citation-backed scholarly search directly into Claude's interface — a concrete example of the publisher-AI integration trend where academic databases are repositioning as AI knowledge infrastructure rather than standalone portals. Follows Springer Nature's AdisInsight/Claude integration (May 8) and represents a fast-moving pattern: scholarly tools plugging into LLMs to remain relevant. Scite's Smart Citations (context-aware citation analysis) inside Claude is particularly notable as it tries to solve AI hallucination with verified scholarly grounding.
