Elsevier’s LeapSpace wins best generative AI solution at CODiE Awards
Elsevier’s AI-powered research platform, LeapSpace, has been named Best Generative AI Solution at the 2026 CODiE Awards.
The CODiE Awards, established in 1986, are among the technology industry’s longest-running peer-reviewed awards programmes, recognising companies, products and leaders across software, AI, data, cybersecurity and digital learning.
LeapSpace is Elsevier’s research-focused AI workspace, designed to support both academic and corporate researchers. The platform combines publisher-neutral scholarly content with AI-powered tools including traceable citations, Trust Cards, Claim Radar and Writing Coach to help researchers explore evidence, validate outputs and accelerate research workflows. Elsevier says the platform has been developed in collaboration with customers to ensure it continues to meet the evolving needs of the research community.
Judy Verses, President, Academic and Government, Elsevier, said: “This CODiE Award is a testament to what makes LeapSpace different. Researchers need more than generic AI. They need trusted evidence, clear citations, transparent reasoning, and control over how insights are interpreted and used. LeapSpace was built with customers’ needs at its core, and this recognition reflects the dedication of our colleagues who developed the solution and the customers and research communities who continue to shape it with us.”
The platform has been designed to address growing demand for AI tools that are built on trusted scientific content, provide transparency in how outputs are generated and enable researchers to maintain oversight of their work.
Dr. Sunil Kumar Satpathy, Head of the Central Library, National Institute of Technology Raipur, India, said: “LeapSpace helps researchers overcome intense time pressure, information overload, and missed insights. It boosts efficiency in literature reviews, supports mission-oriented research, and helps identify research gaps and trends. Our researchers appreciate that LeapSpace provides comprehensive, peer-reviewed content and responsible AI in one place.”
The CODiE Awards use a peer-reviewed judging process combining expert evaluation with community voting to recognise excellence across a range of technology sectors.
