Elsevier Scopus AI
AI research discovery by Elsevier
Scopus AI is an advanced AI layer built on top of Elsevier's Scopus database, the world's largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. It leverages generative AI to help researchers navigate vast volumes of research, identify emerging themes, discover foundational papers, and generate comprehensive research reports in minutes rather than days.
Key Capabilities
Scopus AI's Deep Research feature produces comprehensive reports in minutes, cutting days off early-stage research exploration. The Emerging Themes tool identifies consistent, rising, and novel research themes by scanning Scopus documents from the past two years and clustering them by topic to pinpoint white space for publications, collaborations, and funding. Foundational and Influential Papers discovery helps researchers rapidly find seminal works in any field. Academic Expert Search identifies leading experts, and expanded search results deliver up to 30 relevant results per query.
Who Should Use Elsevier Scopus AI
Scopus AI is designed for academic researchers, research administrators, librarians, and institutional decision-makers who need to navigate and analyze large bodies of scholarly literature. It is particularly valuable for researchers starting new projects, identifying collaboration opportunities, or seeking funding-worthy research gaps.
