Janel Mittelstedt, virtual reference librarian at Rutgers University Libraries, recently discovered several online resources of potential interest to colleagues working in the sciences. Below is a collection of science-oriented artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) research tools and platforms she curated:
Research
- Elicit: elicit.org (free account required)
- Semantic search engine for literature review workflows, apparently based on Semantic Scholar. Results can be exported to Excel, and the engine can summarize papers as well.
- Does not return the same results as Google Scholar, and seems to have limited access to articles published before 1995. Currently includes 175M papers.
- SciSpace: typeset.io
- AI assistant to summarize, explain, and analyze 8M+ papers.
- Includes a writing platform with free/paid options.
- Research Rabbit: researchrabbit.ai
- A free platform to find, collect, visualize, and keep up with research in your area(s) of interest.
Writing
- SciFlow: sciflow.net
- Writing platform for scientific articles, with journal-specific templates for 2K+ publications.
- Free plans are available for researchers and students, as well as institutional licenses.
Publishing
- Operta Accesum: Open-source tool to harvest OA preprints for inclusion in institutional repositories.
- Paper: iastatedigitalpress.com/jlsc/article/id/14421
- Software: osf.io/7mecz
- Jot Journal Targeter: jot.publichealth.yale.edu
- A search engine for identifying potential publishers for a biomedical research manuscript, from the Yale School of Public Health.
- The software is open source and available here: github.com/Townsend-Lab-Yale/journal_targeter
Possible Time Savers
- Magical: getmagical.com
- Chrome extension to automate text/data entry
- Scribe: scribehow.com
- Chrome extension to create visual documentation/step-by-step guides
Personal Knowledge Bases/Second Brains/Notes Management
- Notion: notion.so
- Obsidian: obsidian.md
