• a tool supporting the search and analysis of scientific literature with the help of artificial intelligence

Entrance to the database

ScienceDirect AI is a tool based on generative artificial intelligence, integrated with the ScienceDirect platform. ScienceDirect AI searches for information in the full texts of articles and book chapters available in the ScienceDirect database.

ScienceDirect AI features:

• Natural language search. Users can ask questions in natural language, including Polish. The tool processes the query and finds answers in the full texts of publications, providing richer context and more detailed information than traditional search engines.
• Reading assistant. When you work with an article or book chapter, an interactive assistant appears next to the text. It allows you to ask additional questions, quickly summarise passages, highlight and save key conclusions (more information about the reading assistant). 
• Comparing research. ScienceDirect AI can extract the most important data from various publications and compile it into a clear table.
• Full transparency and verifiability. Each response generated by ScienceDirect AI includes citations and direct links to sources. The tool indicates the exact text fragment on which the response is based, which facilitates verification.

ScienceDirect AI received the 2025 CODIE Award for ‘Best generative AI solution’ for supporting researchers in working more effectively with peer-reviewed content and providing reliable, reference insights.

To use the tool, simply select the ScienceDirect AI tab at the top of the screen.

ScienceDirect AI is a part of LeapSpace, product of Elsevier, combining ScienceDirect AI and Scopus AI technology in one advanced tool, while offering additional functionalities.

In April 2026, the ScienceDirect AI tool was migrated to the LeapSpace environment. Consequently, the features previously available in ScienceDirect AI will be gradually transferred to the LeapSpace platform. For researchers and students, this means the opportunity to use enhanced tools supporting the search, analysis and organisation of scientific literature within a single system. Within LeapSpace, users will be able to continue using the features familiar from ScienceDirect AI, as well as benefit from additional analytical capabilities and integration with other academic resources.
