LONDON, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc
(NYSE:CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative
intelligence, today released the Web of Science™ Research
Assistant. The new generative AI-powered tool helps researchers

connections. The chat interface combined with the Web of Science
knowledge graph allows researchers to get more out of their
interactions with 120 years of trusted publication and citation
data in the Web of Science Core Collection™.
Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President, Research and
Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate, said: "The Web
of Science Research Assistant goes beyond content discovery to
enable a deeper, richer research experience. It enhances
decision-making, supports skill-building and provides in-depth
insights into the dynamics of research fields.
"By partnering with the community and leveraging high-quality,
reliable data and expertise, Clarivate is responsibly implementing
cutting-edge technology in the Web of Science to improve research
discovery and analytics that will transform our world."
Li-Ling Ou, Assistant
Administrator, Division of Knowledge Service at the National Cheng
Kung University Library, a development partner, said: "We chose to
engage with the Web of Science developer partner program due to the
database's reputation for credibility and reliability. The
high-quality articles available through the Web of Science, coupled
with the opportunity to experience a trial period, provided us with
a positive and valuable experience. We are eager to promote the Web
of Science Research Assistant further among researchers at our
institution."
The Web of Science Research Assistant features include:
- Flexible search for documents – Users can conduct
natural language searches in several languages. The tool delivers
overviews that consider more than 120 years of research and reveals
connections between concepts and papers in a field of study.
- Guided prompts and tasks – The tool suggests ways users
can enhance their research tasks, following context-specific
prompts to expand or refine the scope of discovery. Guided tasks
including 'Understand a topic', 'Literature review' or 'Find a
journal' help researchers focus on exactly what they need.
- Unique data visualizations – Users can explore trend
graphs, topic maps and co-citation networks that show different
angles on a topic and guide them deeper into their research.
The tool was developed in collaboration with librarians and
researchers worldwide and entered beta testing in December 2023. Development partners help ensure
that the generative AI-powered assistant meets rigorous standards
for quality, accuracy and privacy. The Web of Science Research
Assistant team will continue to work with the community to gather
feedback and guidance for future enhancements.
