How Does ScienceDirect AI Work?
ScienceDirect AI is a workflow companion that enables researchers to instantly surface, cite, compare and explore trusted evidence from deep within the peer-reviewed literature. It makes knowledge discovery more efficient, practical and rewarding.
Everything you get from ScienceDirect AI includes clear citations and direct links to the original source material. ScienceDirect AI even identifies the exact passage in the original text that was used to generate the response. So, every response you’re presented with is instantly verifiable.
ScienceDirect AI provides a unique Compare Experiments tool. For relevant references, ScienceDirect AI can be used to extract the details that really matter and arrange them in a table – paper by paper, experiment by experiment.
