Academic vs web research tools
Academic tools search scholarly databases and help you analyze papers, extract findings and map citations. Web research tools search the live internet and cite pages. Choose based on the sources you trust for your work.
A verification habit
Good research with AI still ends with you checking the evidence.
- Open the source behind every key claim
- Check dates and authors
- Look for disagreement among sources
- Keep track of what you've verified
