Top 3 AI Apps of the Week for Academic Research
1. Litmaps
Litmaps is a tool that helps researchers and academics with literature reviews. It generates a map of the most relevant articles that relate to a seed paper, allowing users to easily find the articles and papers they need to complete a literature review. The most recent articles appear on the right, the most cited articles appear at the top, and the lines show the citations in-between. Users can click on the dots to explore the articles, add new terms to expand their search, and let Litmaps find the articles they didn’t know they needed to know about.
2. Consensus
Consensus is an AI app that you can ask a question and obtain conclusions from research papers. It can be an excellent complement to apps like Elicit, and it's also important not to rely solely on one AI tool. This approach can help you to eliminate potential biases that might exist in specific apps.
3. IRIS AI
Iris AI is a platform for all your research processing. It can help academicians and students find relevant literature faster and navigate with a visual interface. It can also help boost research discovery by finding related articles to an existing research paper or systematic review that covers the topic you want to discover.
