Using AI to identify and review research

AI-aided tools for mapping research

AI-powered tools for mapping research can identify potential gaps in existing literature by visualizing the connections among different academic publications, helping to highlight overlooked or underexplored study areas. These visualization tools have expanded the possibilities for literature discovery, especially in identifying papers that cross multiple topics or disciplines.
