Nowadays, numerous tools can significantly enhance researchers’ efficiency, from managing publications to simplifying the search for relevant sources. Some of these services require payment, but even their free versions offer high-quality results. Here are a few recommendations:

  • Open read academy – A database containing more than 300 million publications. It allows users to upload and work with their PDF documents and combine them with publications from the database.
  • ResearchRabbit – A free platform linked with Zotero, a citation management tool. This research assistant finds similar articles and visually represents their relationships and connections.
  • Scite.ai – A tool for researching publications on specific topics, providing accurate citations and references, evaluating citations, and offering verified materials.
  • Perplexity.ai – Functions like a Google search engine but with an emphasis on the sources from which it retrieves answers. No registration is required, and it allows users to upload their documents.
  • Clarivate– A research assistant focused exclusively on publications from the Web of Science (WOS).
  • Mymind.ai  – Stores up to 100 citations, articles, images, documents, or websites related to a specific research topic. It works as a browser extension and is very user-friendly.
  • Typeset.io – A tool for researching and writing publications based on existing articles and documents. With the SciSpace feature, it enables analysis, creating connections, and interaction with PDF files.
  • Scopus.ai– Specializes in researching publications from Elsevier’s database, minimizing inaccuracies and incorrect conclusions. The Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV), the Central Library of Technology (CVTI), and universities have free access to its AI extension until October 15, 2024. The tool automatically recognizes users’ IP addresses on institutional computers without requiring registration.

These tools can greatly simplify your work, improve communication, save time, and yield more effective results.
