Questions about research tools
Consensus or Elicit?
Consensus for a question, Elicit for a corpus. Consensus is the fastest route to whether a claim is supported, with a meter across the studies it found. Elicit is built for screening hundreds of papers against criteria and extracting the same field from each — which is a systematic review, not a search.
Can I trust an AI summary of a paper?
As a filter, yes. As a citation, no. These tools reliably tell you which papers are worth opening, and every one of them links to the source precisely because the summary is not the evidence. Quoting a finding you have not read skips the only step that mattered.
Why is Perplexity in a research category?
Because real research runs into questions no academic database answers — a policy change, a vendor’s methodology, a number that exists only in an industry report. Perplexity covers those with citations attached, which is what makes it usable alongside tools that read published literature only.
