Stuck on that paper? AI tool suggests citations and autocompletes writing
Ever spent hours browsing through multiple websites because you can’t find the right source for your essay?
Fortunately, a Waterloo-led research team has created ScholarCopilot, an AI-powered software that can make writing papers faster, smoother, and less stressful.
Users can write or upload on ScholarCopilot’s interface. When they click on the “search citations” button, it will analyze their content and generate a list of academic sources. If the user chooses one of the recommendations, ScholarCopilot will automatically create in-text citations.
