Seven AI tools for scientists ๐จโ๐ฌ
Alexander Kapitonov, an associate professor at ITMOโs Faculty of Infocommunication Technologies, shares a list of AI assistants that can come in handy in research.
Disclaimer โ๏ธ
While AI tools can handle routine tasks, they canโt create high-quality research articles from scratch. Avoid passing off AI-generated text as your own work to maintain your academic integrity. Use AI as a research assistant, not a replacement for your own expertise.
๐ Finding papers
โข Semantic Scholar is like Google Scholar, but AI-driven! The free scientific paper search engine indexes about 216 million papers.
โข Elicit uses AI to select the most relevant papers based on your needs and then summarizes the top four papers in a single paragraph and provides one-sentence abstracts.
โข Litmaps is an AI tool that finds articles directly or indirectly linked to your query and then visualizes their connections based on content, tags, number of citations, and references.
โ๏ธ Editing text
โข Jenni AI is an online platform that uses AI to help you edit texts in English, especially when writing on scientific topics. It also can rephrase sections of text, get rid of repetitions, lexical and grammatical errors, and more.
โข Thesify.ai is a free platform that uses AI to analyze and review articles, providing both positive and negative feedback, suggestions on improvement, and even a selection of articles on relevant topics.
๐ General search
โข ChatGPT and Midjourney Telegram bot gives you access to ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Suno. Academics will find ChatGPT the most helpful.
๐ Canโt find the program for your needs?
โข Thereโs An AI For That is a search system that aggregates 12,000+ AI platforms for research purposes from data analysis to writing program code.
