Exploring and Rating AI Scholarly Research Writing Tools for Teaching

This presentation examines a dozen AI scholarly research writing tools, including Scite, Scholarcy, and Elicit, which are used for summarizing papers, reviewing literature, extracting data, and mapping citations. The session will feature an interactive discussion on the effectiveness and utility of these tools, and propose a rating system to evaluate their effectiveness for classroom use. We will explore their practical (or impractical) applications in classrooms and work projects, and demonstrate a use case using a tool for a teaching scenario.
