The AI boom has proven that it has a place in academia, especially when it comes to research paper writing, performing literature reviews, managing references, and improving the overall productivity of the research workflow.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This blog will explore how AI tools can be used for literature review, what features to look for when selecting an AI tool, and the top 5 tools that can simplify your literature review process.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#why-use-ai-tools-for-literature-review\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why Use AI Tools for Literature Review<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#useful-features-of-ai-tools-for-literature-review\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Useful Features of AI Tools for Literature Review<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top-five-ai-tools-for-literature-review\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Top 5 AI Tools for Literature Review<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-use-ai-tools-for-literature-review\" style=\"padding-top: 80px; margin-top: -80px;\">Why Use AI Tools for Literature Review<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Performing a literature review is one of the most time-consuming tasks in the research workflow. While finding all papers that are relevant for your research topic may be impossible, identifying the most relevant ones can be simplified using appropriate AI tools.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Traditionally, literature review is performed using keyword-based tools. These tools might not work well because the keywords may have synonyms that do not match the right topic. Moreover, there may be papers that use the same concepts but are not identified by the tools because of a language mismatch. Basically, capturing the complete landscape of the research topic becomes challenging.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And this is where AI plays a crucial role by cross-referencing your search queries over a wider net, giving you a better view of what is out there.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"useful-features-of-ai-tools-for-literature-review\" style=\"padding-top: 80px; margin-top: -80px;\">Useful Features of AI Tools for Literature Review<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When you do look for AI tools, here are a few features that you should prioritize to help simplify your literature review.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>1. Smart search options<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">See if the tool offers smart search capabilities where you can filter out options that are relevant to your query. For instance, if you are a nutritionist researching practices that help improve diet habits based on regional influences, you may type in the complete query and then highlight which region you are specifically interested in (e.g., Asian countries).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Optimized reading<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">AI tools often provide an extensive list of results that they consider appropriate for your search query. Look for a \u201cbookmark\u201d or \u201cshortlist\u201d feature that will help you collate the papers that <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">you<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> find interesting so they can be easily referred later.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Personalized recommendations<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Based on your research field and past searches, the tool should be smart enough to provide<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">recommendations that are personalized to your requirements. This feature can help save you time when you are a repeat user of the application or website.<\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Summarized content<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the biggest challenges is reading full-length papers from the get-go. So, go for tools that summarize the contents of the paper to give you an overview of the research by highlighting crucial points. Reading the summaries can help you shortlist papers of interest much faster.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Audio papers and translation features<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another good-to-have feature is the audio and translation capabilities <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">within<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> the tool. Being able to listen to audio papers is an extremely convenience-oriented feature, especially considering a researcher\u2019s busy schedule. On the other hand, having the option to translate content to your preferred language can give you access to research that would otherwise have been difficult to understand.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:720}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"top-five-ai-tools-for-literature-review\" style=\"padding-top: 80px; margin-top: -80px;\">Top 5 AI Tools for Literature Review<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now that you know what to look for in AI tools, here are top 5 AI-powered literature review tools for you to consider.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>R Discovery<sup>1<\/sup><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/r-discovery?utm_source=editageinsights&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=using-ai-tools-for-literature-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">R Discovery<\/span><\/b><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> app is like a one-stop solution for literature search, giving you the option to select topics and journals of your interest to get customized search results.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can either search for research paper titles directly on the application or even import existing collection of research papers from reference managers like Zotero and Mendeley.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The app searches from millions of research papers by considering relevancy, recency, and accessibility to give you the best possible outcome.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It even provides short summaries of content that you are interested in and lets you bookmark and save papers for future perusal.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Consensus<sup>2<\/sup><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This tool lets you search for papers using both natural language queries and keywords.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It gives you the most relevant search results from its vast database linked to Semantic Scholar and Open Alex in addition to its own Consensus scholarly web.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Each search result can be further explored in depth using the \u201cfollow-up\u201d feature, which gives you a detailed summary of topics related to your original search query without having to provide additional context.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Litmaps<sup>3<\/sup><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This tool lets you explore \u201cliterature maps\u201d by building connections between research papers when you search through its database.
