Tools

Elicit is an AI-powered search tool designed to streamline the literature review process by swiftly searching through millions of academic papers. Users can narrow down their search results using a variety of filters such as keywords (like “online learning” or “virtual reality”), publication date, and study type. Additionally, Elicit allows users to customize the columns in the search results to quickly pinpoint the most relevant information. Users can also “star” articles they find interesting, saving them in a separate section for easy tracking and future reference.

Research Rabbit is a complimentary online tool for “citation-centric literature visualization.” It offers a graphical representation of literature reviews, drawing parallels with Spotify’s interface. The software links your research preferences to pertinent articles and authors. You begin with a “collection.” As you incorporate relevant articles for a search (frequently referred to as “seed papers” by comparable tools), the app suggests additional articles for inclusion. ResearchRabbit draws on the data from Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG). Similar tools include Litmaps, Local Citation Networks and Inciteful,
