ISB Libguides: HS Research Resources: Generative AI Models

Disclaimer

AI tools can support your research but should not be your sole resource. Relying solely on AI may lead to:

Inaccuracies or incomplete understanding.
"Hallucinations," where the AI generates false information that appears credible.
AI outputs may contain biases from the data they were trained on, potentially skewing your research.

To ensure accuracy:

Verify information with reliable sources.
Use multiple resources for a balanced perspective.
Cite original texts, not AI-generated summaries.
Follow academic honesty guidelines to keep your work credible, accurate, and genuinely your own.

More reliable AI Models

Concensus
Consensus is an academic search engine, powered by AI, but grounded in scientific research. They use language models (LLMs) and purpose-built search technology (Vector search) to surface the most relevant papers. They synthesize both topic-level and paper-level insights. Everything is connected to real research papers. Free accounts but unlimited access requires a paid subscription.
Elicit - The AI Research Assistant
Elicit uses machine learning to help you with your research: find papers, extract key claims, summarize, brainstorm ideas, and more. Free accounts but unlimited access requires a paid subscription
Perplexity
An answer engine that helps you find facts faster and get your questions answered clearly. Blending GPT and web search technology, Perplexity can answer your questions and provide links to web sources as citations in the response. Does not require an account.
Research Rabbit
ResearchRabbit is an innovative “citation-based literature mapping tool” available online. The scope of such tool is to optimise your time searching for references as you start planning your essay, minor project, or literature review. The concept is simple: 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).
SciSpace
Chat with PDF and conduct your literature review faster using SciSpace. Discover 200M+ papers or upload your own PDF, highlight text or ask questions.

AI Research Models you'll have to pay for

Scite.ai
Scite goes far beyond just open-access articles. We've built the world's largest citation statement database by continually monitoring 200 million scholarly sources and analyzing 1.2B+ citations to create Smart Citations – which provide context and classify citations as supporting or contrasting evidence. This database also powers our AI Assistant and our literature search engine and gives researchers unmatched insight into any topic.
