AI-empowered Research Tools

I'm gathering links to AI research tools and search engines. You're free to use them. Also, please recommend resources that I missed!

Concensus AI Search Engine for Research

From Consensus:

We’re an academic search engine powered by AI, and we're on a mission to make the world's best knowledge more accessible.

Our mission is to make the world's expert knowledge discoverable and consumable. Searching for scientific research has long been a painful process, no matter your background. If used thoughtfully, carefully, and elegantly, we believe AI can change this equation.

Whether you are a lifelong researcher or an everyday consumer, we aim to be your go-to source in the search for expert knowledge.

And we’re just getting started.
Semantic Scholar

From Semantic Scholar:

Semantic Scholar provides free, AI-driven search and discovery tools, and open resources for the global research community.

We index over 200 million academic papers sourced from publisher partnerships, data providers, and web crawls.

With Semantic Scholar, researchers can understand a paper at a glance. Our system extracts meaning and identifies connections from within papers, then surfaces these insights to help Scholars discover and understand research.

Human Development Perspectives

The Human Machine

What makes people the way they are? The Mechanistic perspective sees humans as machines that passively react to internal and external forces over which they have no control.

Inner quality management

The Human Organism

Why are people the way they are? The Organismic lens sees humans as an integrated wholes, organisms that actively makes choices about how they will react to and control the internal and external forces of their lives, and that have inherent growth potential.

The Human Context

What are people? The Contextualist lens sees humans as the historic events that shape their lives, culmination of how they experience and understand things that happen to them.

The Human Synthesis

Attempting to understand human behavior through a single philosophical lens results in methodological myopia through which researchers dismiss perspectives other than their own. Synthesizing perspectives will provide a more complete picture of the human experience.
