Elsevier announces “next-generation” AI-powered researcher solution
Elsevier has announced it is developing a “next-generation, end-to-end” AI-powered solution for academic and corporate researchers, in collaboration with the research community. The solution aims to transform the research workflow, helping scientists move faster from insights to impact while safeguarding research integrity, transparency and trust.
The new tool is aimed at empowering researchers to identify emerging areas of inquiry and funding opportunities, help uncover knowledge gaps, synthesise literature, connect with collaborators and accelerate productivity. The solution builds on the success of ScienceDirect AI and Scopus AI.
Elsevier says the following will set the new solution for researchers apart:
- One seamless assistant: Brainstorm ideas, plan projects, review literature, find collaborators, and discover funding opportunities – all in one space with a powerful AI assistant.
- Trust Cards: Showing how evidence was used or inferred, highlighting confidence levels and providing risk assessments for potential inaccuracies.
- Certified content only: Access comprehensive, peer-reviewed, cross-publisher academic content.
- Curated datasets: Answers powered by publisher-neutral datasets e.g. Scopus abstracts and funding data.
- Add your own content: Users can add their own content to supplement what is already included.
- Privacy and security: Built with enterprise-grade security, Elsevier AI-powered solutions are developed in line with its Privacy Principles to safeguard personal data and privacy.
- Publisher-neutral algorithms: An independent Advisory Board will be created to ensure results are prioritised and ranked based on quality, in a transparent, unbiased and responsible manner.
The new solution will be built on millions of peer-reviewed articles and book chapters from the world’s leading academic publishers, says Elsevier. It will be publisher-neutral and include subscription and open access content, giving researchers unprecedented depth and coverage.
Judy Verses, Elsevier President of Academic and Government Markets, said: “Working together with the research community, our goal is to help researchers seamlessly carry out multiple tasks with confidence to accelerate breakthroughs, boost collaboration, improve impact and productivity. By combining a powerful AI assistant with high-quality peer-reviewed literature from across publishers, we aim to create a next-level experience for impact makers who are advancing human progress.”
Professor Minoru Terano, President of the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), said: “At JAIST, researchers are engaged in the latest research to address the world’s big challenges. Emerging AI tools will play an increasingly important role in this mission, supporting – not replacing -original human thinking and creativity. In partnership with Elsevier, JAIST is committed to developing new tools built on trusted research and responsible AI, ensuring progress that drives academic excellence and societal impact.”
