Library acquires Scopus AI

Posted on by

The Library is pleased to announce that it has acquired Scopus AI. An add-on to the existing multidisciplinary Scopus database, this generative AI (GenAI) tool minimizes hallucinations and bias by only searching Scopus’ peer-reviewed and vetted content searches from 2003. The Scopus database covers more than 27,800+ peer-reviewed journals and 330,000+ books from over 7,000 scholarly publishers, as well as 50,000 open access (OA) publishers and OA repositories, and records from MEDLINE and EMBASE.

Scopus AI synthesizes abstracts from relevant documents to generate a Topic Summary and an Expanded Summary. It also identifies emerging themes, foundational papers and topic experts and generates concept maps. Scopus AI explains how it searched the Scopus database, includes references, indicates its confidence level in the relevancy of the response and suggests “go deeper” questions.

This resource is a great starting point for exploring topics and identifying potential areas of growth for research and funding. To learn more, visit Scopus AI FAQs or register for the January 30th 12 p.m. Scopus AI Library class.

New Year’s Resolutions Reminders

Posted on by

Happy New Year! As we look ahead to 2025, here are a few notes and reminders:

  • UpToDate – To retain uninterrupted access to UpToDate Anywhere, you must re-verify your UTSW affiliation once every 90 days. 
  • Wiley APCs – UT Southwestern authors have fully utilized the 2024 maximum number of articles to be published at no charge in a Wiley or Hindawi fully open access journal or hybrid journal. But there is good news: the balance resets on January 1, 2025!
  • Author Profiles – Are your researcher profiles current in ORCID, Scopus, and Web of Science? These profiles function as persistent identifiers for you and will follow you throughout your career, increase the visibility of your scholarly activities to grant funders and potential collaborators, and improve the accuracy of your author level metrics.
  • Test Preparation – Did you know there are UT Southwestern test preparation resources available for residents/fellows, medical students, advanced practice providers and nurses?
