Scopus AI Quick Guide

Introduction

Scopus AI is a specialized tool on the Scopus database that uses generative AI to boost user research capabilities through its ability to identify common trends on a topic, major relevant seminal studies, prominent subject experts, and more.

This guide will provide you with a succinct introduction to its various features. 

 

Why Use Scopus AI?

Although there's a growing number of self-billed AI-powered academic search-engines available on the open web, these resources frequently have considerable unknowns in regards to:  

  • Where the academic articles that they are using are coming from
  • The specific publication date range they are searching
  • How exhaustive their reach is overall

Also, these resources often only offer a limited amount of free access to their AI-generated features before users begin to encounter paywalls and aggressive suggestions to sign up for a subscription account. 

Using Scopus AI as your primary AI-powered academic search tool helps you avoid these issues. Scopus AI limits its search to the vast amount of abstracts and article citation available through the Scopus database, and so there is no mystery as to where one's search results are coming from. Also, the Sacred Heart Library library already subscribes to Scopus, and so you do not have to deal with the possibility of having to pay any extra fees in order to take advantage of Scopus AI's specialized abilities.
