Generative AI and ScienceDirect

ScienceDirect is working together with the research community to understand how GenAI can help its customers and individual researchers achieve their research goals.

GenAI is an exciting new technology that can make the research process more efficient and accelerate innovation by understanding conversational questions, determining what researchers are looking for and why, and extracting, synthesizing and summarizing the relevant information from ScienceDirect’s peer-reviewed full-text articles in a matter of seconds.

We believe the combination of ScienceDirect’s high-quality, verified content powered by responsible GenAI can transform the way researchers discover and advance knowledge.

We are in the early stages of experimenting and learning about how GenAI features can support ScienceDirect users in their work and have invited a small number of customer institutions globally to take part in early testing.

Customer-driven innovation is at the heart of what we do. We are committed to working in close partnership with the research community to learn from and integrate their feedback into the development of our products.
