Artificial Intelligence Tools for Research

AI tools for research can help you to discover new sources for your literature review or research assignment. These tools will synthesize information from large databases of scholarly output with the aim of finding the most relevant articles and saving researchers' time. As with our research databases or any other search tool, however, it's important not to rely on one tool for all of your research, as you will risk missing important information on your topic of interest

Generative AI tools can be very powerful in connecting researchers with scholarly information. However, there are some important considerations:

• Not all scholarly information has been digitized and therefore is not available for generative AI searches
• Not all scholarly information is freely available online and is therefore not available for AI tools to explore
• Some fields have more information in the digital environments than others
• Search engine algorithms may de-prioritize niche research areas as they are not frequently utilized
