5 Insanely Useful AI Tools for Research (Better Than ChatGPT)

are you tired of chat gpt's limitations when it comes to research and writing papers inaccurate data fake references and the risk of plagiarism Chad GPT has got some major flaws and I've struggled with these problems for a long time as well wasting precious time and effort but what if you could tackle these problems with Chad GPT using groundbreaking AI tools that allow you to publish more papers in top journals faster than ever using these new AI research tools has allowed hundreds of our clients to publish papers in top journals in the field so stick around

for this video as I reveal five gamechanging AI research tools that will turbocharge your research streamline your paper writing so that you can publish papers in top journals in your field and I'll show you how to use these tools at each stage of the research and writing process from finding research topics that get you published in high impact journals through reading the literature to writing amazing papers so regardless of where you currently are with writing your next paper these tools will come in really really handy before I reveal these five groundbreaking AI tools for research

let me show you first of all why Chad GPT is such a bad tool for writing papers or doing research first of all Chad GPT very often generates content content that's actually inaccurate in one study it showed that 45% of the information that Chad GPT generated was incorrect CH GPT is also well known for its hallucinations basically it generates plausible sounding but inaccurate or completely fake information one study showed that CH GPT hallucinates at least 20% of the time and where still it's really really bad at recognizing that it's inventing fake information it also doesn't

generate accurate references which means that you cannot really verify where those claims and information generated by Chad GPT actually came from but the worst part are the ethical and copyright concerns that are connected to using Chad GPT for writing papers basically any input you give chat GPT can become output for any other user and any output that chat GPT gives you might have been input that another user gave to chat GPT this can lead to plagiarism so don't use chat GPT for research instead I will show you five game-changing AI research tools that will help

you to do an exceptional literature review help you to easily structure your papers and polish your papers so that you can publish them in the best journals in your [Music] field first of all to publish in the best journals you need great research ideas but CH GPT has been shown to be wrong almost 50% of the time when suggesting novel research ideas so instead you want to use these AI tools that have been specifically designed for research and for finding impact ful research topics let me show you how so I'll first show you how to

find great research ideas using AI um in a more manual way that will still take significantly less time than it would normally do rather then spend months on it it will take you just a few hours or maybe a few days at most and then I'll end by showing you how to completely automate that process and get AI to just suggest really really accurate ideas for future studies that are almost guaranteed to be published in really good scopus index journals so let's start with the first part of the process a great tool for that is

consensus so you might know that in order to find a really good topic for a really good Journal you want to look at a lack of consensus in the field meaning a lot of Studies have been conducted in the field but the researchers disag agree as to you know the final outcome and the results are somewhat conflicting because then that means that you can come in with your study and clarify that lack of consensus and this is precisely what consensus can do for you it's a great literature review Search tool and the link to uh

use consensus for free is right in the description um of this video so it will suggest questions in here and since I'm in education I will just choose one of the questions in education here and in order to do this correctly to find if there is a consensus or not on a specific issue you need to ask a yes or no question like does ability grouping improve academic outcomes yes or no that's a um that's a yes or no question and what you're going to get here is the consensus meting so in here you can

clearly see that there is disagreement in the field about it because 50% of the studies say yes um um grouping does help with academic outcomes and 50% of the studies say no obviously you can dig into the details and you've got all the details the summary here with references to those papers and you can see the papers below as well but that straight away tells you that there is a research Gap here because that lack of agreement needs to be clarified so that's one very quick way to find great great topics for for your um

next study another really good way is to use a tool um called SI space and and in order to use that tool correctly and find the research Gap in less than a day you need to understand a little bit more about how great topics work so one way is to have a lack of consensus a disagreement in the field but another way to have a great topic is to find a lack of research or limitations or of previous um studies or a practical problem that needs resolve it so what we're going to do here is

ask AI about these things that I've just mentioned in order to find a really good uh topic and the way to do this is either start with a question like this and and Si space will give you um the the literature or if you're more advanced and you've got your own literature you can just upload it into your library and this will be probably more accurate because then sipas will be reading all the PDFs every single word of them so you can upload the PDFs here or import your library from zra but I'll just start

with a question uh from here and uh get sip to generate um the papers and then what you want to do is change the columns in here for our purposes we not interested in data set we're not interested in Practical implications we are interested in future research uh objectives contributions not really um findings methods use these are the columns that you want to be using and then what you need to do is go over this to see first of all what are the limitations of all these studies and as you're going through this really quickly

you want to start seeing patterns okay so maybe you know most papers are limited uh to a small sample size okay maybe most papers are limited by the data analysis techniques and you'll see that here similarly you want to be looking at the future research ideas in here what are these authors suggesting that you do in your next study usually that's the easiest way to find really good ideas for papers especially if you're looking at new papers like this one is 20 24 is this year okay so all those suggestions are probably still valid and

if you combine them with a lack of um consensus on a particular issue as I showed you here if you combine that with limitations of those previous studies and address all that you will inherently have a very novel uh topic that will be publishable in a really good Journal so that's how you can do this really quickly with s space and to do it to make it even uh easier I would recommend really exporting it as an Excel file so then you can more easily sort of search through all of this and find pattern um

in Excel I think it's uh it's more a little bit more user friendly than is so um one more way that I want to show you before I show you how to completely automated and almost don't do anything manually and so you don't have to analyze limitations of previous studies and any of that um sort of thing before I show you how to like completely automate the this I want to show you one last um thing that will really help you to find a really good topic what you want to do is go to Avid

note the link to Avid note is also in the description it's a free tool to start with just like SI space and consensus and what you want to do is find a systematic review or a meta analysis in your field and preferably you know find more than one on that General topic that you're interested in and upload it to uh Avid you want to make sure that that systematic review is a fairly new uh systematic review so don't go for something that was you know published 20 years ago because obviously that's dated now you want

to you want to go for more recent systematic reviews but once you've got it um in here you can ask um Avid node to generate suggestions for future research and why this is going to work so well is because the authors of this systematic review or meta analysis have already done the heavy lifting for you they analyzed hundreds and hundreds of papers and picked you know the best 20 or 50 and analyze them further to show what are the limitations of those studies what are the suggestions for future research you know what other studies should

be done so if you're looking at a systematic review that was published in the last um 5 years it's very likely that uh the suggestions for future research so I would go to uh here chatw document and then select future research that those future research suggestions have not been addressed uh yet so that gives you yet another way uh to um to ideate what your next study is going to be about so this is very fast and it should probably take a day or less but it's still you know fairly manual there is though an

almost completely automatic way to get suggestions for future studies and you can only do it with Avid notes so I'd recommend that you check the link in the description uh to see it so once you open it you have to go to AI uh Snippets and then you have to scroll down um here and what we're going to be looking for is find ideas for new studies we're going to open this feature in here and what you have to do is paste your list of Publications here so the more Publications you paste uh the better

because um Avid note can analyze them and you can use your most recent study you can use your reference list for your PhD Theses or the references for the last few studies that you've done and I've got my reference list here for one of my recent papers I'm just going to copy it um put it here and I would recommend that you know you just really want one result in here um I would probably limit the the maximum uh length to something like 500 we don't want Avid node to you know to be writing an

entire paper on suggestions for future research and then we'll generate um a text and what you're going to get here is the title of the suggested research and um an abstract and the abstract will give you the aim of the study and really what this research the methodology of This research study and you know the potential contributions of that study okay um and depending on you know the number of words that you're limited to it will give you um those um results so this is a very automatic way to get suggestions for future research now

I will give you a caveat here of course you have to still be knowledgeable about your field because AI will not be right always 100% of the time um Avid node was designed by researchers and the founder of avid node is um a researcher has a PHD so he does understand the research process but you still have to verify it so I would still combine this with consensus to find a lack of consensus and Si space so you can find limitations of previous studies and the recommendations for future research now once you've got your impactful

topic you need to also review the literature and write up the literature review for your study but doing a literature review with chat GPT is like asking a fortune teller to tell you your future half of it will be made up or absolute gibberish the other half will be the stuff that you want to hear about your future and none are actually likely to come true similarly Chad GPT is prone to provide inaccurate information other times it will just invent fake claims and insist that these fake claims are correct a little bit like some of

our politicians now ask chat GPT for a reference and it will invent many non-existing references and make them look very very real just to confuse you so instead you want to use these three exceptional AI research tools that will allow you to do a groundbreaking literature review 10 times faster here's how obviously when you're starting on a literature review the first thing that you have to do is find um the right text and as I said CH GPT is a is not a great tool for that because it just gives you fake references and it

invents stuff H and you have no way of verifying whether the information that chap GPT provides you is accurate or not so instead first of all I would really recommend consensus you can type the question in here or you can use one of the suggested question questions and divided by discipline so we're I'm in education and so I'm just going to click on that question in here and um what you're going to get here is um first of all an a more indepth summary with references so the cool thing about it is that you can

verify whether this summary is actually accurate or Not by going to those papers in here and when you go to that paper you can see the one sentence snippet of that paper you can see the type of paper immediately in here and you can see that it's highly cited uh paper as well um if we go to study snapshot we can see more information about it at our fingertip so just notice how fast this is rather than doing it all yourself and then you can click on that um text to get the abstract more information

about that paper and of course of course you you could read the full text here or view it in semantic um scholar so if I was to click here I'm going to get uh the text so I can just continue diving deeper into that um into that text and unlike chat GPT this gives me real papers um with you know written by real um authors so that's the first tool that I'd really recommend for you to get started with the literature review now um the second fantastic tool that you want to do to you want

to use to speed up your literature review is scace the link to sign up for free on scace is in the description it can do the same thing as consensus does uh in terms of um asking a question in here and then getting all the relevant literature and also getting a a snapshot of you know a summary of what all these papers say in here again with references so this is so much better again than chat GPT or other tools because this actually provides you you can verify that information because you can go to these

um references okay and one thing that uh consensus cannot do and Si Bas can is to also give you bullet point summaries of the different sections of each paper I already showed you that when we were looking at the research Gap but I didn't show you that you can actually add columns um in here um to depending on what your focuses so we could add the literature survey column we could add contributions whatever it is that you're interested in here uh sici space will provide a bullet point uh summary in here and then um what

you want to do obviously is to start reading those papers um in more detail and you can go here straight to uh ask a question um on this paper and it will open this uh nice module in here so you can work straight away from the list of generated papers and chat with those uh papers um so it suggests questions in here more detailed questions um in here as well that that you can use but you can obviously type any question that you want that you're interested in finding answers so you just put the question

you can do the same thing with uploaded PDFs so maybe you already have PDFs that you need to read um faster um you can go to my library and import your uh text from zra this is very easy to uh to sync zro and select which zro folders you want syncing or you can simply upload the PDFs from your computer I've got them uploaded in here and then if I click on um chat with paper it will open this window or if I want to actually see the paper you can click on that paper uh

and it will open it in full so then I can read the paper here and chat with um AI so this will insanely speed up um your reading now that you have prepared the information for your paper you need to structure it to tell a coherent story here are two great tools that will allow you to do this so the first tool that can help you to structure the literature review in literally less than 5 minutes is Jenny and the link to sign up for free on Jenny is in the description to this video now

what you want to do is um when you hit the button to start a new document um you want to go to um creative headings so that um AI will also generate the headings for your um l to review the subheadings and then you know you want to tell Jenny what it is that you're writing I already have a prompt um in here um so the more information you give Jenny the better what should you put in that prompt well you should tell um her I'll call Jenny her um what type of text it is

is it a literature review for a paper or a literature review chapter what is the purpose what are some of the main topics maybe that you're planning to include um and so on the the and what is the overall length as well that this text should be on and then I'm going to hit uh the start button in here start writing then you can see that um Jenny already generated um an outline for me in here now I can make that outline usually better as well if I go to AI chat and I asked um

Jenny to generate uh the outline so I'll give it the very same prompt um in here that I gave it um that I gave her at the very beginning to generate the document and I'll put it in the chat and you can see that what it's generating for me here is much more accurate than much more detailed I would say not accurate than what Jenny gave me here so it's a shame that you know it it's not generated like this automatically I still have to go to the chat but nevertheless you know this is this

is just as detailed as it can possibly get so we've got the introduction 100 Words and it doesn't just say introduction it tells me specifically what to do I need to introduce the topic establish the scope State the problem outline the structure which is a really good structure for the introduction okay and then it tells me what the first section should be how long it should be and what are the bullet points that I need to include this this it even gives me references and those references are real references it doesn't make them up like

chat GPT does so what I could just do um in here um is um add this to the document with one click and it will add it to the document or I could copy it to Microsoft world so that's how you can structure your literature review in less than five minutes using Jenny and you can also do this with SI space one big advantage of using SI space rather than Jenny also for structuring your literature review is that SI space is a literature review tool and I've shown you how it can speed up finding research

topics how it can speed up finding the right text how it can speed up find um reading the text as well so it's like an Allin tool whereas Jenning is just for writing so in si space I would need to head to the AI writer um and the link for side space is as well in the description and in here I would go to AI writer and I would go to outline Builder and then again I would paste the prompt in here and then click enter and s space will generate uh the outline form now

you can see that it's less accurate uh less detailed I should say I keep on using the word accurate but it's just less detailed than what Jenny gave us this is much more detailed so what you would need to do in here is ask further questions so for example defining native and um non-native speakers so what I would probably do is ask ask um um the AI writer uh to um make it um longer okay uh to give me more arguments uh about it or you could go here to AI writer and just ask you

know what is the definition of a native speaker okay and then you will get that so you will have to expand a little bit on what um s space has provided uh to you here so Jenny is much more detailed with the with the outline uh but the huge advantage of science Spas is that you've got the whole literature review tool um with it um build it whereas Jenny doesn't have now that you've GED the literature you've structured it it's time to write your research paper but trying to write and polish your research paper using

chat GPT is a little bit like leaving the front door of your house one wide open with a big neon sign next to it saying please steal from me the thing is that the input that you give to Chad GPT can become output and can be given to any other user that uses chat GPT which means they might take it and use it in their own papers and this creates some serious plagiarism and copyright issues so instead I would highly highly recommend you use one of these AI research tools that I'll show you in a

second so Jenny is the first to that I would recommend for writing you've already seen its power when it comes to generating outlines but it can do many other things as well for example it can expand a little bit on what was um said in here if I select that and go to AI commands and I can um ask Jenny to for example make uh make this longer okay and it will generate um a text uh for me and I can insert it below um what you can also do is you can improve the text

right so once you've got a text written okay you could also select it go to AI commands and then you could improve fluency uh for example okay that's another thing that you can do with u Jen and you can also um reference um as well you can see Jenny is referencing Publications um in here as well so all in all Jenny is a fantastic tool for improving your writing and so ispace and as I said the biggest Advantage as well of sspace is that it also includes the literature review module whereas Jenny does not so

if you go with Jenny you will have to use another tool for reading the literature and then use Jenny for writing I do think Jenny is still slightly better than the size Bas writer but not not much better If we're honest and I think just because siace also has the whole literature review uh tool um I think it's a it's a clear winner for me because at the end of the day you can do very similar things as Jenny does you can paraphrase this you can improve fluency you can fix the grammar as well which

Jenny does not do so it it really has a proof reader uh if you paste your text in here you can click on fix grammar you can write opposing argument right in with more depth so there's a lot of features that can help you generate text but also that can help you improve uh the text that you already um have so um that's the AI writer in Jenny and the third one that we haven't really talked about I think it has one huge advantage that no other tools offer is paperpile paperpile um is a word

plug-in it also has an online module that you can use and use online as you do with CPAs and Jenny but the huge thing about it is that you can use it within Microsoft Word So you you're using a familiar software uh to improve your text and it can also help you to generate some outlines I didn't show it to you for literature review because it cannot do a literature review but it can do other sections of research Pap so if you're writing an introduction in the field of let's say physical sciences you can Des

describe your research and it will generate an outline and um I will show you how it works on a on a text that I've already written this is a a paper that uh was submitted and accepted by a by a journal so we'll open uh PayPal in here and what it will start doing straight away is analyzing the text for the state so um it is a fantastic proofreading tool which basically means you don't necessarily have to uh pay for any additional proof reading Services you can just use paperpile and the link to sign up

on ppal and try it for free is also in the description okay so it starts making uh it spots the mistakes and then it tells you how the mistakes should be corrected and then you you have a choice you can accept it or reject it okay and you can go Mistake by mistake to check it now I'll say one thing you don't want to accept all of these changes because not all of them are accurate some of them uh don't improve anything about your text and some of them are actually wrong like the capitalization in

the in the title that it suggests to make B smaller is actually wrong uh B should be uh a big letter because it's a Content word it's a verb so not all the suggestions are correct but nevertheless this is a a very quick fantastic way to proof read your text and then it can do um a lot of other things um for you like if you select um a text in here it can help you to rewrite uh that particular text you can paraphrase it trim it make more academic you can also find uh synonyms

as well for Words which is a great tool when you're writing because you're often stuck for you know the right word and you've used that word many uh many times already uh so PayPal just within Microsoft Word will'll Find synonyms using AI in research will really speed up your process but on its own it will never allow you to publish your papers in top scopus index journals what you need is a proven system that's why in the next video I reveal to you four research paper hacks that will allow you to get published in q1

scopus index journals when you apply them publishing will really feel like cheating like one of our clients liette who in just 12 months published three papers and has got four more papers under review so if you want to publish in q1 scopus index journals watch this video next
