The Research Revolution: How AI-Powered Chat is Transforming SCiNiTO and Empowering Researchers 

The way we conduct research is changing. Gone are the days of sifting through endless search results and struggling to connect the dots. Today, a new breed of research tools powered by AI is emerging, and SCiNiTO, utilizing the vast OpenAlex dataset, is at the forefront of this revolution.

At SCiNiTO, we've always been driven by a mission to make research more accessible and efficient. With a database of 250 million scholarly records, including 50 million open access resources, SCiNiTO provides researchers with an unparalleled breadth and depth of knowledge. However, our user analysis revealed a fascinating trend: researchers were increasingly relying on natural language queries in the search bar, indicating a desire for a more conversational approach.

This insight sparked a paradigm shift in our product strategy. Recognizing the power of conversational AI, we partnered with troweb, our flagship AI integration platform, to reimagine the SCiNiTO user experience. The result? A groundbreaking chat-based interface that is transforming how researchers interact with scholarly information.

From Keywords to Conversations: The Power of Chat-Based Research

By integrating troweb's AI capabilities, SCiNiTO now allows users to engage in natural language conversations to conduct their research. This shift from keywords to conversations brings a multitude of benefits, particularly for junior researchers:

• Effortless Exploration: Instead of manually browsing through countless titles and abstracts, researchers can simply ask the AI to surface relevant information, significantly reducing the time and effort required.
• Intelligent Keyword Suggestions: The AI analyzes the context of the user's queries and suggests additional keywords, uncovering hidden connections and expanding the scope of their research.
• Automated Literature Review: SCiNiTO's AI can summarize key findings from multiple sources, effectively building a preliminary literature review and providing a springboard for further investigation.
• Project Generation: Based on the user's research journey, the AI can automatically create and suggest relevant projects within SCiNiTO, streamlining the research process and fostering deeper exploration.

troweb: Powering the Future of Research with Custom AI

This successful implementation of AI, facilitated by the troweb platform, has significantly enhanced SCiNiTO's usability and appeal. By embracing a chat-based interface and leveraging the power of AI, SCiNiTO is empowering researchers of all levels to navigate the complexities of scholarly information with ease and efficiency.

The future of research is conversational, and SCiNiTO, powered by troweb, is leading the charge.
