🔬 Introduction to Site and Research Evaluation
Josh, a co-founder and cell biologist, introduces the video's purpose: to demonstrate how the 'site' can aid in the discovery, understanding, and evaluation of research. He uses an article from Nature, 2010, as an example to discuss the importance of publication details, author affiliations, and citation metrics. Josh emphasizes the limitations of traditional citation indexes and introduces the concept of 'Smart Citation', which classifies citations based on their context within an article, such as supporting or refuting claims.
📚 Smart Citations and Contextual Citation Analysis
The video script explains the unique feature of 'site', which extracts and classifies 1.3 billion smart citations from open access and subscription-based articles. This allows users to quickly see how articles, researchers, or topics have been cited in various contexts. The example given illustrates how 'site' provides exact citation statements from the full text, offering a more nuanced view of how research is referenced and discussed in the literature.
🔍 Enhancing Literature Search with Site Assistant
Josh introduces 'site assistant', a feature that allows users to ask questions and develop search strategies within the platform. It accesses scholarly articles to provide verified sources and fact-checks the information. The script uses the example of estimating the rat population in NYC, showing how 'site assistant' can provide a response with citations and context, allowing users to verify the information and understand how it has been discussed in the literature.
🌐 Utilizing Advanced AI for Trustworthy Literature Analysis
The final part of the script highlights the integration of advanced language models with 'site' to offer a powerful and trustworthy system for literature search and analysis. It contrasts this with other AI systems like chat GPT, which may not provide verifiable sources. 'Site' is presented as a tool that combines the strengths of peer-reviewed literature with the flexibility of AI, making it easier for users to explore and understand research topics.
