What is SCOPUS AI?

Scopus AI is a search tool based on responsible generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Unlike other LLMs that search the World Wide Web, the knowledge base of Scopus AI is derived from the metadata within the Scopus database which covers more than 27,800+ peer-reviewed journals and 330,000+ books  from over 7,000 scholarly publishers, as well as 50,000 open access (OA) publishers and OA repositories, and records from MEDLINE and EMBASE, making it a standard across STEM and non-STEM disciplines. Scopus AI is now part of the library's subscription. 

What can SCOPUS AI offer researchers?  

  • Trusted content
  • Natural Language queries assisted with RAG Fusion technology
  • Go Deeper and find Foundational Papers
  • Research Summarization with references to the original
  • Concept Maps: For a bird’s-eye view, Scopus AI generates Concept maps using keywords from research abstracts
  • Topic Experts: Scopus AI suggests top researchers linked to your query, providing summaries of their work and contributions
  • Follow-up questions to the initial query
