Proquest is an aggregator database that enables searching across sources, including journal articles, from multiple publishers. It employs a subtle use of AI technology, which is displayed after an initial search has been carried out.
Features
- Suggested Search Terms: Quickly refine queries, narrow down results and identify alternative keywords.
- Key Takeaways: The main insights drawn from the document that will help determine its relevance.
- Research topics: Suggests potential topics for further research based on the document and links to explore them.
Limitations
- Full-Text Dependency: AI only works if the full text of the article is available within ProQuest.
- Minimum Document Length: Documents under 150 words do not activate the AI assistant.
- Publisher Opt-Outs: Some publishers opt out of allowing their content to be used for AI-generated summaries or features.
