Get Insights from Multiple Research Articles PDFs with AI using SciSpace

if you are looking to get insights from multiple different papers you have PDFs and you want to use AI to quickly gleam insights from them I'm going to show you today how to do it for free using scace so this is scace and what we can do is once you sign in you do need to create an account once you sign in you can go to my library and that's where you can upload any of your own papers and use it there now what I'm going to do today is I am going to upload PDFs

and what I'm going to go ahead and do is create a new folder and in this folder I'm going to do this is my steroids and ion mobility and I'm just going to bracket this with tutorial uh so that I know later what I actually use this folder for and then I'm going to click create here so now I have all of these folders in here and I can click in here and now I can upload PDFs so I just added in a whole folder of PDFs if you're someone like me I love having the

PDFs in like my zoto and other things so I usually just create a folder of like a search and then I can add it in here so I'm going to upload all seven files and now what's nice is with these files already here I can actually create those same columns that I would create from the side spaces um just general AI search so I can create a summarized abstract or I can create the tldr quickly from the PDFs I don't have to go oh they don't have the PDFs available and these are typically going to

be a little bit more accurate because not all of the um results from from the AI search is going to have the PDF available to have all of the information it needs to be able to do things like this what I want to focus on is how you can actually use all of these papers and generate insights from it so what we can do is up here you can see it says get insights for questions or ask questions up here and so we're going to do this but what we can do is in all folders

We can click down and we're going to click off select all and only select the one that we just created that has all of these papers in it and then I can ask it a question so I can say can you list all the ways all the methods that have been used to separate steroid isomers using ion Mobility spectrometry so now you can see we get the insights from the top uh five papers here like we would typically do with any search um you can see all of our papers kind of exist down here and

we do get those different columns available to us we can see we have um IMS has been used to separate steroid isomers using various methods one of the approaches uses different drift gases this is going to be a review and then this is going to be a specific research paper another method is the formation of multimers which involves group one metal adduction that's very accurate um the one thing I would like here is that when you upload this that it would pull in the metadata to be able to um like allow you to see the

titles here instead of it being the titles of the the title that you gave that paper um that's one thing that I would like to see happen like how zoto does or any other uh reference manager does derivatization of steroid roids has also been employed to improve separations such as this one this is the aonan paper or this is saying rayad out that should be that should definitely be the Aon in paper yeah this that's a that's a miscue there um so overall I think this is somewhat good I think this is incorrectly citing um

where like some of these do not belong to the papers that it's saying it belongs to um so that is interesting I'm I'm curious about what is going on there you can also go into ask co-pilot or drop down here to ask more questions so I'm just asking it what are the major results of these research articles so you can see that now there are citations that are existing within the answers as well they're actually pointing you to the different papers that it is sending you to so you can see here it says the authors

compared CCS values obtained in their study with those published by a different paper found that there were differences highlighting the complexity of CCS calibration and IM Mobility spectrometry so if I click on this it is taking me to this to this specific paper but it's not taking me to the specific section so if I hover over this it's showing that where it's pulling that information from it looks like might be the conclusion and so if we scroll down to the conclusion you can see here it's talking about those CCS values now it probably did talk

about that in the result results as well but it is kind of showing you where it's pulling this information from let's see if we have of this so this is showing you in the results and discussion section it talks about this information here so overall I think this is doing a better job at more accurately identifying which citation the information belongs to and so I would probably use this kind of co-pilot instead of using um this General ask up here for right now to get more specific information but now you have a way to basically

up upload a series of papers and be able to analyze it and ask different information use you can even ask like for each article what was the instrument the study was performed on so like getting really specific if you're dividing like a lit review by the type of instrument use so you can see here there was there is like a mistake going on so um um basically it's it's basically just using question marks here and it's only pulling up the water synap g2s this one's getting confused probably because it's this review here and so it's

not sure which it's using um again all these other ones are water Cent up G2 s which I know is not what was used here so there might be some um difficulties going on here with being able to do this but when you're looking at really high level again I'm asking specific questions instead of really high level questions so if I said from these articles what would be the next steps in the field this gives you a few different next steps this is again kind of doing it article by article and giving you the Future

Works of that article but if you're trying to build like a new study doing something like this and seeing what are all the different things really quickly can be really helpful especially if you know the Articles going into it so again this is probably going to be a little bit better of a system when you already know the research articles versus when you're looking for the research articles because if I did a search of this and looked for all these same things so even here I could add in the columns method used and I'm getting

these methods where a lot of times when I would do this in just their General um where I would do this same methods used in their General search they wouldn't be able to give me the methods used or they wouldn't be as accurate so this is a way where you can upload a lot of papers be able to get information from it quickly for a literature review or for a research article if you're writing one of those or just to build out your field and if you are interested in diving into what is your next

research project going to be I would definitely check out my 30-day research jump start guide I will leave that link in the description below just helps you walk you through how to learn your field how to develop research ideas what papers should you read all of those things that you need in order to be able to develop your research project and move forward if you're interested in more tutorials on sipas I will leave a few up here and I look forward to seeing you in the next video
