Starting January 1, 2025, all members of the University of Tartu can use the new Scopus AI feature of Elsevier's Scopus citation database while connected to the university network.
This tool is based on natural language processing (NLP). Instead of using keywords or Boolean logic operators, you can type a question, statement, or hypothesis in natural language into the search bar. The AI will analyze your query and generate a response based on the abstracts of articles available in the Scopus database. Questions can be asked in multiple languages, but responses will always be provided in English.
For the best results, it is important to formulate clear and detailed questions about your research topic. The more precise the question, the easier it is for the AI to find relevant articles.
A comprehensive user guide can be found on the Scopus learning materials page.
To use Scopus AI, go to scopus.com, where you’ll find the tool located above the search bar (see image).
Feedback and questions are welcome at paring@ut.ee.
