Integrating AI tools in scientific research has revolutionized data analysis, literature review, and hypothesis development. This study shows that AI tools like Consensus, SearchSmart, and Perplexity can enhance information retrieval and synthesis, while ResearchRabbit and Connected Papers offer advanced literature review capabilities. Platforms such as Scholarcy, SciSpace, and Humata improve reading efficiency by summarizing and analyzing articles. Note-taking and drafting tools like Lateral, Jenni.ai, and Lex.page enhance productivity and organization.
While AI tools significantly optimize research processes, they also raise ethical concerns about bias and the need for transparency. Ultimately, AI should complement, not replace, human intellectual efforts, ensuring rigorous and ethically sound research.
