AI literature retrieval tools assist in finding published information by combining keyword searches with algorithms to locate relevant sources. Some popular tools of this nature are listed below.

Semantic Scholar - AI-powered search tool for scientific literature; links to author(s), journal, and database (freely available).

Elicit - Automates research tasks; summarizes papers, extracts data, synthesizes findings, and compares papers in a side-by-side table (freely available).

scite.ai - AI-powered tool that tracks citation contexts; distinguishes supportive, contrasting, and neutral citations in academic literature (free version available).

Consensus - AI-driven search engine providing consensus answers from scientific literature, synthesizing findings from multiple studies (free version available).

Keenious - Research tool that identifies relevant academic articles based on your text; integrates with word processors for easy reference linking (free version available).

ResearchRabbit, ConnectedPapers, and LitMaps are free literature mapping tools. A literature map refers to the web of scholarly conversations that happens between authors and co-citations. Use these tools to visualize these publishings, when they were published, the authors who are being referenced, and neighboring topics.
