Scopus AI adds generative AI to Elsevier's abstract and citation database: natural-language questions, synthesised answers from Scopus-indexed content, aimed at grasping trends, identifying experts and finding literature without combing hundreds of abstracts.
Benefits & outcomes
Faster orientation in a new subject area.
Key papers, authors and concepts surfaced rather than searched for.
Notes & quotes
“Scopus AI makes it easier for researchers to discover connections, spot trends and answer questions quickly, helping them to stay ahead.” — Kumsal Bayazit, Elsevier CEO
It turns Scopus into something closer to a well-read research assistant—without the coffee breaks or existential crises. Reviewed in Katina Magazine's May 2025 comparison.
Oct 2025: Scopus AI launched Deep Research, an agentic feature that plans, runs dozens of searches, and produces downloadable literature review reports. Rebranded 'AI Discovery' in 2026.
