Introducing the ScholarAI plugin for ChatGPT: Instant access to peer-reviewed articles with citations

Instantly find source material for your research with your new go-to source for verified academic insights, no hallucination, with sources cited

The Problem

ChatGPT is a great resource for researchers. However, there are two major drawbacks to using ChatGPT to develop your research.

1. Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT hallucinate, meaning they make up answers that seem plausible rather than pulling directly from factual sources. This is a potentially fatal flaw for writing and developing source material. Human knowledge is built by stacking brick-upon-brick of tested conclusions, not from plausible guesses presented as facts.

2. LLMs don’t cite sources, and there are no easy ways to understand how they arrive at their answers to questions. They are inherently opaque under the hood.

Solution

That's where ScholarAI comes in—a groundbreaking plugin that seamlessly integrates peer-reviewed article searches into your ChatGPT conversations.

What is the ScholarAI plugin for ChatGPT?

ScholarAI is a plugin designed to provide users with access to a database of peer-reviewed articles and academic research. Currently, ScholarAI connects the LLMs that power ChatGPT with tailored access to open access Springer-Nature articles. By using this plugin, users quickly gain an ability to directly query relevant peer-reviewed studies to find reliable information to help facilitate their scientific research, technical projects, and funding proposals. Critically, ScholarAI helps limit hallucinations that may occur during normal ChatGPT use and provides hyperlinks directly to source material to ensure you are provided with the most accurate and trustworthy data from the academic sphere.
