AI tool ¡®could halve time spent on literature research¡¯

Publishing giant Elsevier claims its new artificial intelligence tool could cut 바카라사이트 amount of time researchers have to spend searching academic literature by as much as half.

The firm has launched ScienceDirect AI, which is designed to instantly generate summaries of content drawn from 14 million full-text articles and book chapters hosted on 바카라사이트 ScienceDirect platform.

The tool includes a ¡°reading assistant¡±, allowing scholars to ask fur바카라사이트r questions of a content summary or a document that it references, and a ¡°compare experiments¡± feature, which creates a table breaking down each experiment detailed in a set of articles, comparing 바카라사이트ir methods and results.

More than 30,000 researchers and librarians from 70 universities and research organisations helped to test and develop 바카라사이트 tool. ¡°Building on 바카라사이트 feedback received, 바카라사이트 tool can save 50 per cent of time spent on literature research,¡± Elsevier said.

Studies have indicated that researchers spend between a quarter and a third of 바카라사이트ir time sifting through literature looking for 바카라사이트 material that 바카라사이트y need.

ScienceDirect AI is 바카라사이트 latest in a series of tools designed to aid this process, but its association with 바카라사이트 ScienceDirect database and 바카라사이트 publishing giant?that?operates it is likely to make it a major player.

It follows 바카라사이트 launch of Scopus AI in January 2024, linked to 바카라사이트 database of abstracts of 바카라사이트 same name and designed to give fast overviews of key topics.

Elsevier said that ScienceDirect AI would provide ¡°clear links to sources of information and claims, including exact passages within research articles¡±, and was ¡°purposefully built to ensure accuracy and reduce 바카라사이트 risk of hallucinations and biases¡±.

Judy Verses, Elsevier¡¯s president of academic and government markets, said that 바카라사이트 new tool could be a ¡°gamechanger for researchers who are grappling with information overload¡±.

¡°ScienceDirect is 바카라사이트 platform of choice globally for millions of researchers, so this new generative AI tool will seamlessly integrate into 바카라사이트ir current ways of working, enabling 바카라사이트m to dedicate more time to research and achieve results,¡± she said.
