R Discovery is an AI-powered app that makes your literature review super-easy, super-fast.

It integrates with Zotero and Mendeley and is totally FREE!

Here's how to use it:

Go to App Store or Play Store and download R Discovery.

Select your research area and choose the topics you are interested in.

R Discovery will give you a list of recently published articles in your research area.

Here it's showing me an article that was published as recently as 1 Mar (just ten days ago).

This is very useful.

For better organization, you can create different "Lists" of articles for different projects.

Tap on the Library button in the bottom-right corner, then tap on "Create a List."

Give you list a name and start browsing articles.

Add relevant articles to your list.

Once you've added a few articles, simply export the list to Zotero or Mendeley.

You can conduct your literature review while doing things like commuting or waiting for a doctor's appointment.

Karpathy's idea of LLM Knowledge Bases went viral: 18M+ views.

Now everyone wants to build one but many are facing problems, especially non-technical folks.

Here is a step-by-step tutorial on setting up an LLM Knowledge Base for non-technical folks:

1. Go to obsidian[.]md

Download and install the app on your computer.

2. Once installed, Obsidian will ask you to create a "Vault" (folder on your computer).

Create a vault called "MyWiki" and save it in your Documents.

Once your vault is created, Obsidian will open it for you.

Don't be intimidated by what you see. It's very easy to use.

Scopus has 100M+ research papers.

LeapSpace AI lets you generate research reports and literature overviews based on full-text papers in Scopus.

It generated for me a 27-page report with 143 references.

Also helps you find research grants.

Here's how to use it:

1. Go to researcher[.]elsevier[.]com and sign up for a free trial.

Log in to LeapSpace and enable deep research.

Ask a question and it will generate a complete report based on full texts of research papers.

Click on a reference and it will give you the relevant paper.

2. You can also download the research report as a PDF.

You can see here that it's a 27-page long report with 143 references to papers in Scopus.

A lot of academics still think AI apps generate fake references to papers that don't exist.

They are living in 2023.

You can easily integrate a database of 280M research papers with Claude and ChatGPT to get answers with references to published papers.

Here's how to do it:

1. Go to scite[.]ai/mcp and select Claude ai

Copy the URL given in the second line. Then click on the blue "Add Scite" button.

This will open Claude Connectors. Type in the name Scite and paste the URL in the "Remote MCP" field.

Then click on "Add."

2. This will add a Scite Connector to your Claude.

Scroll down a little and you will see a Scite Connector. Click on "Connect" and log in to your Scite account.

Give Claude permission to access Scite. And that's it.

You will need a paid subscription for Scite to do this.

Claude Code will fundamentally change the nature of academic research.

But most academics don't know how to use it.

Here's how to get started on Claude Code (even if you've never coded).

Claude Code for Academics 101:

Before getting started, we need to understand what Claude Code (CC) is.

It's not a simple chatbot.

Think of it as a general-purpose work enviroment that lets you create customized features for your own specific purposes.

It'll become clear by the end of this thread.

1. To get started, go to claude[.]com/download and download the Claude desktop app.

You will need a paid plan.

Select the $20/m one. That'll be enough to get you started.

Academics are abandoning ChatGPT for Claude, and for good reason.

Claude is way better than ChatGPT for intellectual work.

But moving to Claude risks losing your work history and memory in ChatGPT.

Here's how to move all your work history and memory from ChatGPT to Claude:

1. Open Claude and click on your profile in the bottom-left corner.

Then click on "Settings" and select "Capabilities."

In Capabilities, look for the "Start Import" button.

Click it and then copy the prompt given on the top.

2. Open ChatGPT and put it on "Thinking."

Then run the prompt you just copied from Claude.

ChatGPT will give you an answer. Copy that.
