From September 23 to October 18, the new function Scopus AI of the Elsevier reference database Scopus will be open, which allows you to search the database using natural language. The artificial intelligence analyzes your submitted query, which may also be in Estonian, and prepares an answer based on the summaries of the articles found in the Scopus database. The used articles are referenced and can be checked. In addition, a concept map is presented and the most valued experts on the given topic are presented.
