This is what AI can do today, #ScienceTwitter:

⏵ Discover new literature
⏵ Understand and summarise, even math
⏵ Write your papers

The game is changing – fast.

Here's my list of the 9 essential AI tools in research:
(With prices and use-cases)
👇

🧭 | @LitmapsApp

Discover similar papers from one ore more publications.
Will often display fewer (more relevant?) papers, compared to other apps.
Intuitively guides through the discovery process.

✔︎ Effortless Literature Discovery
💲Free for small maps, then 10$/mo

@LitmapsApp 🧭 | @RsrchRabbit

Upload your research library and ask to find similar papers.
Very thorough and fast but results in huge amounts of results.
The software takes some time to get used to.

✔︎ Thorough literature review
💲Free

@LitmapsApp @RsrchRabbit 🧭 | @ConnectedPapers

Select a paper and display similar ones in a graph.
Close papers in the graph are similar. (Closeness is based on co-citation and similar bibliographies).

✔︎ Initial discovery of literature
💲Free for graphs built from 1 paper, 3$/mo

@LitmapsApp @RsrchRabbit @ConnectedPapers 🤓 | @paper_digest

Upload your paper and get a 3-min overview consisting of:

- Summary
- What I can learn
- Discussion

✔︎ Quickly get the idea of what a paper is about
💲Free

@LitmapsApp @RsrchRabbit @ConnectedPapers @paper_digest 🤓 | @scispace_

Upload a PDF.
Highlight passages and let an AI summarise them.
Use natural language to ask detailed questions about the content.

✔︎ Understand details of complicated papers (even math)
💲Free (with caps on usage), 8$/mo

@LitmapsApp @RsrchRabbit @ConnectedPapers @paper_digest @scispace_ 🤓 | @ConsensusNLP

Type in a question about a topic (in natural language).
An AI will find snippets from research papers related to your query.
Learn about controversial opinions and their sources.

✔︎ Gather papers for debated questions
💲Free

@LitmapsApp @RsrchRabbit @ConnectedPapers @paper_digest @scispace_ @ConsensusNLP ✍️ | @openai

Give the AI some context (your notes), describe the text you want to have e.g. "100 words" and ask it to write.

The results will blow your mind.
But: Double check facts.

✔︎ First drafts, shortening and paraphrasing, non-native speakers.
💲Free

@LitmapsApp @RsrchRabbit @ConnectedPapers @paper_digest @scispace_ @ConsensusNLP @OpenAI ✍️ | @Writefullapp

Uses AI to paraphrase and write parts of your research paper.
Integrates with MS Word & Overleaf.
Feels like a writing companion.

✔︎ Polishing manuscripts
💲free for a limited number of uses, 6-16$ monthly

@LitmapsApp @RsrchRabbit @ConnectedPapers @paper_digest @scispace_ @ConsensusNLP @OpenAI @Writefullapp ✍️ | @penelopedotai

Upload a manuscript to quickly check if it fulfils journal requirements.
Automatically checks for common mistakes and generates a report.

✔ ︎Pre submission check of your manuscript
💲high setup costs + 1-2$ per check
