Hi Andy, could you make a video showing the actual process of writing a section of a paper (let's say the Introduction section) using the AI tools you have reviewed so far? I would love to see how all these AI tools play different roles in an actual writing process. Thanks.
I'm also a bit overwhelmed with the tools. I'm writing my master's thesis and now I'm confused which tools are best fit for me. Literature Review: scite, scispace, litmaps, elicit. Then writing: writefull, jenni, quillbot. What about Grammarly? As you can see, I'm confused.
I think those of us doing doctoral level research today are fortunate. AI is a fantastic tool that can help eliminate some of the most mundane aspects of our work. It is such a great time to be pursuing graduate work. I wish tools like this existed when I did my first graduate degree 30 years ago. We were barely beyond card catalogues & inter-library loans of books & articles.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:13 The AI tool "Scite" assists researchers beyond citations. 00:43 Scite's AI assistant helps with questions using research articles. 02:07 Scite generates paragraphs and references for research topics. 03:18 Scite aids in starting and detailing grant proposals and papers. 04:30 Scite offers a comprehensive toolbox for various research needs. 06:21 Scite's dashboard tracks personal publication impact metrics. 07:03 Scite's Chrome extension provides paper insights during searches. 08:12 Scite's AI assistant and tools are highly beneficial for researchers.

As a new Ph.D. student myself I love your content. And this is my favorite discovery so far. Sadly, they do charge, but it's a minimal fee for a lot of content. Thanks for sharing!
Do you know what's kinda frustrating about these apps? A lot of them are paid, more often than not. And let's be real, students don't exactly swim in cash. I gotta say, your suggestions are awesome, and I really wish I could jump on board with most of them. But man, those fees start piling up real quick and it can get pretty darn expensive.
We don't love charging students, but we want to make sure we can build a sustainable tool and business, and there are costs to building and maintaining tools. We offer students 40% off if they recommend us to their library, though, in an effort to help!
@@joshnicholson7925it's the best tool really that you have created. My concern is in one of the features where it tells you the source for your sentence. Now let's say I have written my paper and now I want to write all the references (unfortunately wasn't able to keep the track of resources while writing the paper) So when I write a sentence or 2,it is giving me the relevant references. All is okay till now. The problem arises if I want to add next sentence from my work which is in next paragraph in my paper and that sentence is related to first sentence that I fed earlier to scite. There is no option of continuing finding relevant references for the subsequent sentences in the same chat. I have to go for new chat and in this new chat it won't know what was discussed in first chat
Hey Andy, not sure if this is already in the works or not, but I'd personally love to see a video comparing scite's AI assistant with Bing in terms of finding relevant papers for a given claim or point. Thanks!
Afaik sciences general progress is on a 2 year doubling exponential curve. Do you think tools like this already speed up science itself eg by 50%? (What would be a doubling/year which is insanely fast). I'd assume it speeds up research at least 10+% right?
Hi Andy, Thank you so much for such an informative video. I have susbcribed and started using Scite ai at once as soon as I saw your video. Although, I am bit concerned with publishing policies. Many journals ask the authors to refrain from using AI and they have a set of tools to detect whether you have used any AI in some or the other form? Does using Scite AI will led to rejection of publication? Thanks and Regards
Thanks for such a comprehensive overview, I think it is not worth paying for, as a researcher I would wait another couple of years, and hundreds of such tools would pop up as open-source alternatives, or I would just make one myself. In my opinion, any AI tool that comes nowadays must be made with open-source mindset, otherwise, they would soon go obsolete.
@wisangr I know that, but still "survival is for the fittest." Until 2020, our uni used to buy subscriptions from Adobe, but since 2021, all of their products got replaced by open alternatives. Now, only in our group we save a few thousand 💰 annually to spend on materials and actually needed stuff. Cheers
2 questions: 1- is there any word limit in the prompt? 2- Can you ask Scite to only use review papers to write the response or only use the primary research articles and not include reviews?
Thank you Andy!!! Thank you for the mini tutorial and helping me understand how to use this masterpiece of a tool. BIG UP PS. have you seen Men in Black? you remind me of the actor that played the bad guy " Boris the animal"
Hola, estoy haciendo mi estudio doctoral. Encuentro bastante enriquecedores tus videos y gracias a las herramientas que has reseñado, he podido acelerar mi avance. No obstante, encontrar las referencias adecuadas sigue siendo un problema, en especial desde el punto de vista de un estado del arte; el balance es difícil. Incluso usando elicit, scite o Jenni. Pero encontré y estoy usando una herramienta que no he visto en tu canal y me ha parecido super poderosa: consensus... qué dices? la pones a prueba? puede ser que en mi campo de estudio (ciencia política) sea una de las que mejor se ajusten. Un saludo,
From ethical standpoint, can I copy and paste what these AIs provide me with? Also, how can I humanized the contents as I sometimes feel like these generated content is much better than my writing ability as non-native English speaker! Any tips, I would deeply appreciate it. Thanks!
@@edwardsallow8931 But even if you couldn't be detected, copy-pasting what an AI says is plagiarism. Unless you reference it just like you would when quoting what another human has written, I guess.
@@Sachaztan Well I was not arguing in favor of it, just saying it was a bad idea in general. Also nice, a reply from the content creator, liked and subscribed.
Be careful with the finding sources tool. I used it and it came up with three great sounding current sources from 2019 to 2022. I did a little digging and every one of them were published in predatory journals that have since been shut down. In fact, most of the papers Scite gives me have been from low quality (or predatory) journals. I guess those are the ones that can be easily indexed. Elsevier, Wiley, and all the others aren't going to let their papers be thrown into the LLM AI indexer. It's a useful tool, but it is not a replacement for doing the real work of digging out those papers. Maybe in fields where open access is more accepted, but in my field open access is widely considered junk unless the author(s) shelled out the thousands of dollars publishers charge for the authors to keep their own copyright to their work and it is published with a creative commons license instead of the usual closed access the giant publishing companies use.
@@trongnghiabui1298 MIS--I'm not in a super secret field. In fact, one time it even cited me, but what it completely missed the point of my paper. I was so excited to see my name pop, and that excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I read what had to say.
Andy I don't know if you get notified of or even read these comments since I've no idea of UA-cam inner workings. That said I thought I'd comment on an unrelated to this video video you made some time ago. When I saw the video providing advice on getting through a Ph.D. (or Masters) long after you made it I realize a few in my opinion really important points were missed. To wit... - in selecting your committee members make certain they all get along well together. Don't include as members any people who don't get along irrespective of expertise they can bring to your subject area. If your school requires a member from the graduate school to be on your committee be sure you get one easy to work with. You don't need someone who may/will make your grad student experience more difficult. In my case the first name the grad school gave me was "bad" name so I didn't even go see him just waited a week and went and got another name same situation a "bad" name so like the first I didn't contact him and then got a third name a really great guy. I'm not saying the bad names were bad people just that they didn't make a new grad student journey easier. Pay attention to these two people things and your graduate degree experience will be less stressful, smoother and more enjoyable. I am still thankful to the nearly finished Ph.D. grad student who told me these two things when I was starting my program. And more in jest or maybe wishful thinking if you can get a Dean of the school you are in or the Dept chair as your major prof it helps a lot as well. I was that fortunate - dean for my MS then dept chair for my Ph.D. Hope this helps new graduate students.
Tried it today and it says : I apologize, but I'm unable to browse the internet or access specific references. However, I can provide a general academic response to the statement you provided
The only thing I did not like about it, that it has only access to open access articles. Please let me know if they updated the option to access all resource when you have access through your school account or network
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I am the co-founder and CEO of scite. It's not accurate to say we only have open-access articles. We've spent five years partnering with publishers to get access to subscription-based articles, and most in our database are not open.
@@joshnicholson7925 thanks for the clarification, I posted this comment just to get an answer regarding this issue. Definitely, I am going to subscribe
put this in front of your prompt... Find a source for this: then add your prompt after that colon. Be careful. It "worked" for me in that I got some sources, but every source it suggested was from a predatory journal.
I think the "ultimate AI" will rewrite your core article in the appropriate formats for the multitude of scientific journals out there. Sadly none do that yet.
PhD students today are fortunate to have access to helpful tools, but it seems that Gen Z students may not be as hardworking as their parents. Despite this, they have ample resources available to them and should have no excuse not to pursue a PhD if they desire to do so.
Andy, students and academics can't afford the high cost of language tools. Subscribing seems promising but turns out disappointing. Please highlight this issue to encourage a more reasonable pricing approach. I tried some tools and I am still looking for something unique that really add to me as a researcher. All of what I used were below my expectations😢
Looks good but sadly not free, with all these different tools it starts to get a little expensive to stay on top of all these various research-related AI.
@@edwardsallow8931 Sorry that we cannot offer the tool for free, but there are significant costs to building and maintaining tools like scite. We offer regional pricing to account for differences in over 100+ countries, and we offer students 40% off.
