Meet Scopus AI: Your Academic Resource Booster

Scopus AI is designed to simplify the discovery process by letting you type questions in plain language with no need to master Boolean logic or advanced search tricks. 

  • Concise summaries with references: Get quick, trustworthy overviews of a topic with linked citations you can pursue. 
  • Interactive concept maps: See how ideas, subtopics, and emerging themes connect, helping you branch out into areas you might not have considered. 
  • Time-saving discovery: Instead of scrolling through endless results, one query can highlight fresh directions, influential papers, and the top experts in your field. 

This tool not only makes exploration easier but also helps you jump start your search and build your bibliography with confidence. 

Pro Tip: Expand Your Search
