Artificial Intelligence

In today's world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) impacts all education fields and is not subject specific. This Research Guide is here to support your research and learning journey in Artificial Intelligence.

Scholarly AI Tools

The following list includes AI tools better suited for academic work:

  • Scite.ai - An AI citation analysis tool that utilizes smart citations to support scholarly research. The University of Calgary has an institutional licence for this tool.
  • Scopus AI is Elsevier’s generative AI-powered research assistant that synthesizes trusted, peer-reviewed content from the extensive Scopus database, offering referenced summaries, concept maps, and emerging themes to help researchers explore topics. It is accessible through the Scopus platform, and is available in the main search box within Scopus. 

These are not monitored or supported by the library, but can be helpful for research. 

  • ResearchRabbit - ResearchRabbit allows users to input articles into collections to allow users to search for related papers.
  • Consensus - Consensus is an AI-powered search engine which utilizes Semantic Scholar for its searches, sourcing whatever research it uses in its summaries.
  • Undermind - An AI-powered scientific research support tool which draws from Semantic Scholar to provide users with summaries of scholarly works.
  • Elicit - Elicit is an AI-powered research tool that searches Semantic Scholar that can assist users with literature reviews.
