Research discovery and visualization using ResearchRabbit: A use case of AI in libraries

Abstract

One of the most challenging tasks of any research is literature review in which a researcher is constantly switching between different modes of searching and browsing papers. The researchers may find and explore some relevant papers via keyword searching or stumble upon some required papers via Wikipedia or at a conference, which leads to looking at the references or citations of that paper, which again leads to more citation mining and before one knows it might be lost. It often feels like tumbling down the rabbit hole, as each relevant paper that is found opens up yet more avenues to explore and dig out the endless possibilities. Research Rabbit is a new literature mapping tool that helps with doing all this complex literature review in a seamless way and provide quick visualizations to help in exploring the literature “forest”?
