In this blog:
- We give you an introduction to the CiteAb reagent search engine
- What does partnering with us to list involve?
- What are the benefits of partnering with CiteAb?
At CiteAb, we text-mine the scientific literature to identify and understand product use. The data collected powers our search engine for researchers and data services for reagent suppliers, publishers, investment companies and biopharma/biotech researchers.
Partnering with us to list on our search engine can help you to drive sales, increase brand exposure and help our researcher users.
Today we answer some common questions around this service, including what listing on CiteAb involves, why you’d want to partner with CiteAb, and how the search engine itself works.

What is the CiteAb reagent search engine?
Built in response to the struggle of a researcher scouring the literature to ensure they were buying the right products, CiteAb has grown into a vast database and search engine with over 13m products from around 600 suppliers.
In our search engine, these products are ranked only by citations. This means scientists can easily see reagents that have been used successfully by their peers, and decide if they are the best ones for their experiments. Although suppliers can not influence ranking, they can still maximise the benefit they get from our search engine.
Our reagent search engine currently covers the following reagents:
- Antibody search engine
- Biochemicals search engine
- Proteins search engine
- Cell Lines & Models search engine
- Kits & Assays search engine

What does listing on the reagent search engine involve?
Product pages on our reagent search tool help researchers to view citations in more detail, see experimental information, published images, and also visit the supplier site to purchase products directly.
We’ve worked hard to curate useful information on these pages, such as application, reactivity, dilutions and validation data.
On these pages, there is an opportunity to add a custom advert, contact details and a logo, as shown above. We can take a full catalogue of products and upload it into our database to ensure we list all your products, not just the ones we have found, and that product information is complete.

What benefits are there to partnering with us?
By partnering with us, you can maximise the benefits of your listings on our search engine to help:
- Drive sales
- Increase product and brand exposure
- Help researchers using the search engine
Displaying an advert, logo and contact details encourages click-throughs to your site. When a researcher finds themself on a CiteAb product page, they are actively looking to find a product that fits their needs. This means listing on our search engine generates highly qualified leads.
We recently spoke to one of our more specialist partners who has been listing on our search engine for many years. They told us that our partnership generates high quality traffic from over 1000 scientists each year, and the team have even been able to track a visitor go from CiteAb, to a product page, and the same product be bought a few hours later.
On top of this, we receive over 1.1m users to CiteAb each year, who trust us to help with their scientific research. These scientists include users in all of the top ten universities and 9 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies, generating over 5 million annual page views. By partnering with us you’ll be able to maximise exposure of your products and services to this global user base.
On top of this, our listing service includes active management of your product catalogue on the search engine, meaning it is always up to date. By sending us your complete catalogue with product information, you can be certain all your product are listed and up-to-date on our search engine.
This helps researchers find the right products more easily and contributes to supporting a platform that is free-to-use for the research community.
