Article Databases

Within article databases, AI can help you refine and expand your search, narrow your topic, identify new sources, and explain the meaning of dense peer-reviewed articles.

Data and Statistics Databases

Find Sources

Always remember to verify AI generated content by checking the quality and validity of its sources.

Understand Peer-Reviewed Articles

Perform Literature Reviews

These tools allow you to expand a search to related topics that may not appear in a typical database.  Keep in mind that there are limitations to the articles and journals these tools can access.  It's a good idea to search in multiple locations so you don't miss important literature.
