AI Tools for Research

A guide to help you understand how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can support your academic research

EBSCO AI Insights

AI Insights is integrated across all EBSCO platform and is designed to enhance academic research. In some EBSCO databases there is also an option for natural language searching.

Key Features

  • AI Insights: This generates between 2 to 5 key points for each full-text article, helping users to assess its relevance quickly.
  • Search Capabilities: In EBSCO databases with the natural language feature users can toggle between this and traditional keyword-based searching, allowing for flexible exploration of content.

Limitations

  • English only: AI Insight summaries are currently available only in English.
  • Full-Text Dependency: Summaries are generated for articles with full-text access; records containing only abstracts are excluded.
  • Quality Assurance: A sample of AI-generated summaries is reviewed by subject experts to ensure accuracy and relevance. As not every summary is individually checked, users should still critically evaluate the content.
