Academic research gets easier day by day. All thanks to AI tools like @scispace_ co-pilot 👩‍✈️

Co-pilot can instantly answer your questions and simply explain scientific concepts as you read

Here’s how to get the most out of it:
(scroll for a giveaway!)

#OpenScience #phdplace
1⃣ Go to the main page of SciSpace (typeset.io) and type your keywords
2⃣ Find all the articles that match your keywords and see their comprehensive summaries

If you're doing a lit review, it's a perfect way to explore a pre-selected paper without reading its full text
3⃣ Select an article to discover

You have its full text on the left and a co-pilot on the right

Co-pilot is SciSpace's AI-driven bot that helps you understand the paper (see thread below)
Bonus: if the paper is not in open access, you can manually upload it to SciSpace and do the same

See the thread of Mushtaq for more info
4⃣ Highlight scientific terms or whole sentences to get their down-to-earth explanation

Co-pilot doesn't just help you understand them, but also cites the seminal papers in its answer!
5⃣ Ask the co-pilot to explain math equations, graphs, diagrams, or tables

Click at "Clip math and tables" in the co-pilot window 👉 select the equation, graph, or table to explain 👉 wait up to 10 sec 👉 enjoy a structured, easy-to-understand summary or explanation
6⃣ Explore the rest of the paper by asking co-pilot pre-set questions

It can explain the paper's:
• Abstract in simple terms or even in one line
• Key takeaways
• Uniqueness, contributions, and practical implications
• Main approaches
• Data used
• Results
• Conclusions
7⃣ Dive deeper by asking your own or follow-up questions

Example:

I asked how many papers a meta-analysis study reviewed

...and I got 1) number, 2) fields, 3) languages, and 4) timespan of the reviewed papers

It took <10 sec instead of 1h I'd spend reading the paper!
8⃣ Save the co-pilot chat for later, interact with the co-pilot in 10 languages, join SciSpace's discord, and, of course, follow the team on twitter:
@scispace_
9⃣ Finally, SciSpace allows you to explore the citation network

See the citing and cited by of the article and get suggestions of other relevant papers
SciSpace makes scientific reading truly enjoyable, easy, and fast 💨

It answers any question you may have like an expert

It explains all the formulas, graphs, and tables like a caring teacher

And it's FREE, no sign-in required (only if you want to save your progress)
Disclaimer:

My Twitter is not commercial. It gives me the flexibility to only share high-quality tools that I genuinely enjoy

If I get asked to recommend someone's product, I first do a thorough background check of the company and a crash test of their tool 👇
If a company wants to thank me, they can do it by:
1) giving something to my Twitter followers
2) donating any amount to a charity of their choice
@scispace_ wants to encourage you to try SciSpace and share your best conversations with the co-pilot in the comments 👇

Three authors of the best conversations will get a Christmas present from SciSpace: any book from the image shipped to them! (results on the Dec 20th) Books for give-away: life 3.0, human compatible, why has nob

In the last 6 months

I spoke with >100 PhD candidates from different unis, fields, and at different stages of their journey 🎓

Here is the list of the common problems we experience to convince you you're not alone (+ tips on how to deal with them):

PART I

#phdvoice #phdchat
1. No onboarding, having to piece together all the info
How do the printers work? What is FAIR data? For most of us, there was no comprehensive onboarding that'd explain how the academic environment works
💡Tip: team up with a more senior PhD student to get some lifehacks
2. Feeling frustrated, lost, lacking progress
Most of us have to define the project ourselves. An overwhelming amount of information and no clear "rules of the game" take their toll
💡Tip: narrow down, define your niche, read the best articles from your field, get feedback early
