EBSCO Insights

EBSCO databases have made Artificial Intelligence (AI) features available in most of their databases. 

Generative AI Insights

AI Insights offer concise summaries, presenting 2-5 key points for each document. This consistent format, applied across multiple databases and deep backfiles of licensed content, introduces a new level of uniformity, facilitating rapid review. The aim of AI Insights is to reduce the time users spend searching for relevant full-text articles supporting their research. 

How AI Insights are generated in EBSCO

AI Insights summaries are generated by prompting a Large Language Model to summarize insights from the specific article the user selected AI Insights for. The AI Insight prompt uses a method called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to reduce hallucinations. EBSCO also reviews a representative sample of AI Insights with Subject Matter Expert (SME) Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) for biases, tone, accuracy, and timeliness of Insights as a quality and responsible AI metric.

How do You Access Generative AI Insights in EBSCO? 

The Generate AI Insights button is available from the results list of your search below each article. You can click/tap the button to generate the insight. In some cases you will not see the Generative AI Insights listed. These are cases where the content is too short, or a publisher might not have granted permission.

CCH AI

Statista

About Research AI: 

"Research AI V1 leverages semantic search and Cohere technology to pinpoint the most pertinent Statista data for any given user query. Research AI accesses content and datasets from the 10 most relevant sources, links them to the user query, and feeds the bundled information into our LLM (Claude 3 Sonnet). This process generates detailed responses, and we integrate citations directly into the text, making the narratives easy to understand and fact-check."

Oxford Academic - AI Discovery Assistant

"Included with any subscription to or purchase of content on Oxford Academic, our AI Discovery Assistant helps to make your discovery of scholarship quicker, whatever your specialism, as it identifies the ten pieces of content most relevant to your research. Think of it as a more intuitive search, where you no longer need to have exact matches on words or terms."
