Q & A
What is SciSpace's new literature review tool?
-SciSpace's new literature review tool is a platform that allows users to input a question or statement and receive relevant research articles related to their inquiry. It provides insights from the top papers and a filtered list of research articles to assist in literature review and research.
How does the literature review tool handle user queries?
-The tool processes user queries by searching for research articles that can help answer the question or address the statement provided by the user. It then presents the user with a list of articles, insights from the top papers, and various ways to filter and organize the results.
What are the limitations of the insights section in the literature review tool?
-The insights section provides a quick overview of the top results but may reference other research articles rather than the actual research article itself. This could lead to potential inaccuracies if the user relies solely on the insights without verifying the information against the original research paper.
How can users filter the results in the literature review tool?
-Users can filter the results by selecting options such as showing only papers with PDFs, open access papers, filtering by year, or by publication type like journal articles, book chapters, books, patents, or proceedings.
What is the role of the Co-Pilot tool in the literature review process?
-The Co-Pilot tool is integrated into the literature review tool, allowing users to ask follow-up questions for any specific paper within the list or use it to identify novel methodologies or approaches across multiple papers at once. It aids in deepening the understanding of the research and obtaining more detailed information.
How can users save their searches and findings in the literature review tool?
-Users can save their searches and findings by clicking the 'save' button, which stores the search and any associated Co-Pilot messages within the user's account on SciSpace. This allows for easy access and future reference without needing to export the data.
What is the benefit of exporting the search results as a CSV file?
-Exporting the search results as a CSV file allows users to have a structured and organized record of the research articles, their insights, and other relevant information outside of the SciSpace platform. This can be useful for further analysis or integration with other tools and databases.
Why is it important to double-check the information provided by the literature review tool?
-It is important to double-check the information because, while AI tools can provide valuable insights and summaries, they may not always accurately reference the correct research articles or capture the nuances of the research. Verification ensures the accuracy and reliability of the information used in research or academic work.
How does the literature review tool differ from other AI literature finding tools?
-The literature review tool differs by offering integration with SciSpace's Co-Pilot tool, providing a streamlined search and review process. It also allows for filtering and customization of search results, offering a more tailored approach to finding and reviewing scientific literature.
What are some recommended practices when using the literature review tool?
-Recommended practices include verifying the insights against the original research papers, using the filtering options to narrow down the search results, leveraging the Co-Pilot tool for deeper inquiries, and saving searches for future reference. It's also advisable to export and organize the data for further analysis and citation.

📚 Introduction to the Literature Review Tool
The speaker introduces a new literature review tool by Size, Spaces, which is similar to Alyssa's tool with its own pros and cons. The tool is designed to help users find relevant research articles by inputting a question or statement. The speaker demonstrates the tool using a query related to steroid analysis by ion mobility spectrometry. The results page provides insights from the top five papers, offering a quick overview of the research area. However, the speaker notes that the citations provided are more references to other research articles rather than the actual research articles themselves, which could lead to incorrect information if not double-checked.
🔍 Customizing and Evaluating the Research Results
The speaker discusses the importance of verifying insights provided by the tool with the actual research papers. The tool's results section is highlighted, showing an initial display of 10 papers with options to show more and various filters such as publication year and type. The speaker suggests improvements, such as allowing users to look specifically for research articles or reviews. The table format of the results is detailed, including columns for paper names, open access status, PDF links, and a summary of the paper's content. The speaker critiques the accuracy of the tool's insights and emphasizes the need for deeper investigation into the papers for a comprehensive understanding.
🤖 Utilizing Copilot for Enhanced Analysis
The integration of Copilot in the literature review tool is discussed, allowing users to ask follow-up questions for specific papers or apply it to multiple papers at once. The speaker demonstrates how to use Copilot to identify novel methodologies from the listed papers, although initial attempts did not include citations. After refining the question, the speaker successfully obtains the citations. The speaker also explains how to save searches and Copilot responses within the tool and the option to export the information as a CSV file. The speaker concludes with a reminder to always double-check AI-generated information and offers additional resources for viewers.
