JSTOR's interactive research tool enables a semantic search option and offers a range of functions at the level of a single full text item.
Key Features
- Semantic Search: appears on the results page and may help you surface relevant items that may be missed in a keyword search.
- Question and Answer (Q&A): Use the suggested prompts or ask your own questions to generate summaries and explore the item. Can use natural language but no need for full questions.
- Show Related Content: Items that contain similarities in text.
- Recommended Topics: Suggests key concepts that are relevant to the text to explore further research.
- Download Conversation History: To keep a record of your interaction.
Limitations
- Personal Account: To access the AI features, users need to set up a free personal account to sign in alongside the University Login.
- Peer-reviewed items: If the text does not explicitly state it, the tool cannot confirm whether the article is peer-reviewed.
