New tools are constantly emerging from LLMs (Large Language Models) that use generative AI to produce new analysis, text, or to answer questions. Below I have listed some AI tools that are especially developed to aid with scholarly research. Please note that listing these tools does not imply that I encourage or endorse them. Please be aware of the risks of uploading information to AI tools with regards to either:
That being said, we now live in the era of ubiquitous AI. Many of these tools developed specifically for researchers can be very useful. Best practices with regards to using AI include acknowledgement of the use of an AI tool in your work, citation, and checking for errors,
Make sure you A.C.E. your use of these tools by:
