When I was doing my research, there weren’t many AI tools available, or at least people didn’t know about them. So, I had to spend a lot of time doing literature surveys, managing my documents, writing the research paper, and getting it plagiarism-checked.
But nowadays, there are so many AI tools available that you can use to make your life easier and produce the best research possible.
Research Rabbit
Research Rabbit is an amazing AI tool that fast-tracks your entire literature review process. It’s almost like a Spotify for research. Just how on Spotify we make a collection of music and then based on our choices, we get recommended similar stuff. Similarly, on Research Rabbit, you can upload your research papers on a particular topic to create a collection of research papers. Based on that, it will recommend more relevant and recent research papers.
In fact, it also shows you a network of research papers. Through that, you can see which are the most heavily cited papers and probably read those. Or you can go into an author and see which research papers they’ve published and choose them to read. In this way, it helps you do a quicker and more effective literature survey. The best part? This tool is absolutely free, and the founders have no intention of making it a paid one. So you can max out on this particular AI tool to do a quality literature survey.

Chat PDF
Chat PDF allows you to chat with the PDF and get your questions answered. It’s very similar to Chat GPT. In Chat GPT, if you ask it a question, it will search the entire web and give you an answer. In the case of Chat PDF, if you ask it a question, it will search the entire PDF that you’ve uploaded and try to answer it.
This is very useful when you are new to a particular research field. When you try to read a research paper, you might not understand it completely either because it has a lot of technical terms or the language used is very complex. In that case, Chat PDF can be really useful. You can ask it questions to understand what’s written in the research paper. It can also summarize the research paper for you in simple words. The best part? This tool is also completely free.

Trinka
Trinka is slightly more than just a grammar or spelling correction tool. It has been designed specifically with academic writing in mind. It catches tricky mistakes in technical and scientific writing and corrects your sentence structure, tone, language usage, and style.
Trinka has other features like plagiarism check, citation check, and journal finder. When I uploaded my already published manuscript, it identified up to 200 small mistakes. There are two plans available in Trinka: one is the free plan, and another is the paid plan. Under the free plan, you can get your document corrected for up to 5000 words, which is pretty decent.

Consensus
Consensus is like marrying Google Search with Google’s Scholar. It is a search engine that uses AI to extract data and give you findings directly from scientific research. If you ask a question to Consensus, it will go through all the peer-reviewed journals and give you an answer.
When you ask the same question to Google, it will show you a lot of blogs, articles, and even sponsored ads, which are written by marketing teams of different organizations. You can’t be sure that the answer you’re getting is true. The answer you get from Consensus is based on scientific evidence. This can help you get answers to questions you’re confused about, understand the topic completely, or make sure your research is on the right track. And yes, this is also free.

Plag.ai
Plag.ai is the first AI-driven plagiarism checker, which has a repository of billions of articles and does a thorough check for your report. It does a real-time check, meaning even if an article was published online 10 minutes ago, your document would be compared against that for a plagiarism check.
Instead of using random plagiarism checkers online, you might as well run your document through Plag.ai for a plagiarism check for free. If you’re going for a conference or journal publication, I recommend using the paid version for a wider database and comparison with scholarly articles. In less than 10 dollars, you can get all of this done.
