Scopus AI is a search tool that utilizes generative AI (GenAI) technology to assist users in retrieving and summarizing information. Built in close collaboration with the academic community, it provides insights by surfacing information from metadata, abstracts, and author profiles in Scopus, Elsevier’s source-neutral and curated abstract and citation database.
Scopus AI uses natural language processing. That means that instead of searching for the right keywords or Boolean operators, you can just type in your question, statement or hypothetical using everyday language. Depending on what you want to know, Scopus AI’s Copilot query tool decides whether to use a vector and/or keyword search to locate relevant documents from across the 7,000+ publishers in the database, focusing on those published since 2003. It synthesizes the content of these documents’ abstracts to create a referenced Summary of the information you are seeking.
