Generative Ai has introduced new tools available to researchers, enabling users to visualize connections between works, or facilitate evaluation and synthesis of relevant works.
These tools are best used a supplement to the literature review process.They do not search all relevant literature, and are not meant to substitute library database searching. It's important to always verify the information by referring to the actual article.
SciteAi is an AI-powered research platform that analyzes and provides citation context for scientific papers, helping researchers evaluate the credibility and impact of scholarly articles. Some key features include:
Bakker, C., Theis-Mahon, N., & Brown, S. J. (2023). Evaluating the Accuracy of scite, a Smart Citation Index. Hypothesis: Research Journal for Health Information Professionals, 35(2). https://doi.org/10.18060/26528
Keenious is a resource recommender tool designed to aid in the identification and discovery of scholarly research. It analyzes writing from text documents and PDFs to recommend the most relevant articles and topics to explore using artificial intelligence combined with conventional search algorithms.Keenious is available via a web browser for content uploads and text input, and can also be used as an add-on in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
ResearchRabbit is a “citation-based literature mapping tool” available online. It aims to optimize your time searching for references as you start planning your project, or literature review. You start by using one or more papers (called seed papers), and the app will find more papers relevant to the topic of interest (which is dictated by the seed papers you previously selected).
TIP: While ResearchRabbit claims to cover 100s of millions of academic articles or more than 90%+ of materials that can be found in major databases used by academic institutions, it's best used in conjunction with searching within library databases. It helps you visualize the connections between areas of research, and it can help you discover works that you may have missed in your previous searches.
Elicit uses Chat GPT-4 to automate parts of the workflow for literature review searching. If you ask it a question, it will how relevant papers and summaries of key information about those papers in table format, including summaries of study limitations, outcomes, etc. This tool is free up to a certain amount of "credits." Users then pay for additional credits.
Note: the library is still developing this page, check back later for more information!
