Semantic Scholar is a free AI-powered research tool that aggregates scientific literature from various fields of science, including nanotechnology and moral reasoning, and uses AI and engineering to understand the semantics of the research to help scholars discover relevant publications.
The platform currently archives over 211 million papers. Also, the tool has a beta program, Semantic Reader, that provides an augmented reading experience to help increase accessibility and richness to scientific literature.
Besides, Semantic Scholar has a newly improved API for developers, which allows searching for papers on the platform, better documentation, and improved stability.
Semantic Scholar was developed by the Allen Institute for AI, which focuses on creating efficiency in AI research to decrease carbon footprint and increase inclusivity.
Researchers who use Semantic Scholar can sign up and stay connected to receive alerts about relevant papers, as well as receive updates about new features and releases.
The platform is open to publishers who want to contribute their research, and a team of expert researchers composes the Semantic Scholar team. The platform also offers a detailed FAQ section and tutorials to help users understand the tool's full range of capabilities.
Overall, Semantic Scholar is a highly useful research tool for scholars, allowing them to discover relevant scientific publications with the power of AI.

    Ron Jayson🙏 79 karmaMar 1, 2024@Scholarcyeasy to pick up and you get a few free file imports. it gives you results pretty fast, unfortunately i can't find a way to get back to these, they're locked behind the paid service. - 
    
    
    
    36,600826v1 released 2y agoFree + from $12.00/moI've tried to find the exact articles via WoS, Google, or Scopus. Despite using a very advised and complicated search query, it was just a waste of time. Perplexity didn't help either. The Jenni AI, which may add useful links when generating text, finds nothing but trash. SciScape gave exactly what I needed from the first query! A couple of fresh relative articles with very exact topics!

    18,661294Released 1y agoFree + from $4.2/moI’ve been using it for a month now and I have decided to keep it for a year. There definitely are some kinks they can still work out like file management, but it’s very good at it’s core function: it generally does a good job answering questions and most times identifies PDFs automatically and correctly. The browser plugin works great, and it’s very nice that Papers allows you to add your university’s library API so you can automatically download PDFs that are accessible through your institution (sometimes it refuses to download some papers, so you just have to downlow it yourself and manually add it). The iPad and Android apps are serviceable. Every once in a while it will mess up the PDF identification, especially with papers from either very old sources or online-only journals. Things they must work on: * A much better system to annotate PDFs (the post-it type notes are cumbersome). * Introduce a notepad attached to each PDF or some way to easily link and save the AI’s output to the PDF. Currently, you have to add a little post it note and then paste the text there. * Keep the AI answers available after closing the documents. If you close the document by mistake or have several open and wish to close some, the ai conversation will be reset. * I REALLY wish that you could get citations and links to where the info was from extracted from PDFs. Currently, I have found Coral.ai does a much better job of showing you where the info came from and it even highlights it for you. Give it a try, their 30-day no credit card needed trial allowed me to truly test it, and now I’m a yearly subscriber looking forward for new additions and releases.
