Scopus AI is a generative AI research tool embedded within the Scopus citation and abstract database. This guide introduces its key features and demonstrates how to use them effectively in your scholarly research.
General chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Gemini have significant limitations for academic research, including hallucinations (making up articles), lack of source transparency, and inability to verify citations. Meanwhile, while there's a growing number of AI-powered research platforms available, these offer only limited free access before requiring paid subscriptions.
Scopus AI addresses these issues by drawing exclusively from the over 28,000 peer-reviewed journals in the Scopus database. This means high-quality and verified scholarly sources, reduced hallucination risk, and resource transparency. Also, SHU library users have access to the full range of Scopus AI's features at no extra cost.
