  • Elsevier ensures responsible AI use and data privacy in its AI solutions, in line with its privacy principles

Why research-grade AI matters

Researchers and institutions are navigating unprecedented challenges in time, information, and trust. While 84% of researchers use AI, only 22% trust it (Elsevier, Researcher of the Future report).

These challenges include:

  • Time scarcity: Researchers lack time for research amid rising demands for productivity and impact.

  • Information overload: Navigating vast literature, data, and funding signals with fragmented tools is overwhelming.

  • AI adoption pressure: Generative AI is entering workflows rapidly, often outside institutional governance.

  • Trust gaps: Concerns about hallucinations, bias, and ethical use hinder confidence in AI.

  • Institutional risk: Universities must balance innovation with integrity, privacy, and compliance.

LeapSpace is designed to bring innovation and trust together in research.

Key user features include:

  • One seamless assistant: Generate ideas, plan projects, explore literature, identify collaborators, and discover funding in a single secure workspace

  • Trust cards: Explains why sources were cited and highlights contradictions, helping researchers calibrate the strength of the evidence with confidence

  • Deep research: Generate in-depth reports that highlight emerging patterns, contradictions, and evidence gaps that traditional searches often miss

  • Find funding: Access 45,000 active and recurring funding opportunities from 16,000+ government and private funding organizations.

  • Reading Assistant: A conversational feature that enables you to interrogate a specific full-text article or book chapter and ask questions about the content.

  • Compare feature: Compare articles using a table that breaks down each experiment and highlights key aspects including goals, methods, and results.

  • Author search: Explore relevant collaborators, mentors and topic contributors, and support cross disciplinary research.

What LeapSpace users say

LeapSpace is already being used by thousands of researchers from the world’s top universities and leading R&D-driven corporations.

LeapSpace was created with researchers in mind, which means I have more trust in it. It helps refine where I want to go in my research, validates certain directions to explore, and makes it easier to learn outside of my domainLeapSpace has also propelled me to a point in my reading I wouldn’t reach otherwise. I run Deep Research Reports in the background and then save them for my train journey.

- Paul Preuschoff, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Researcher at RWTH Aachen University

R&D teams need quick access to verifiable scientific evidence within tight timelines and strict compliance requirements. In my early experience with LeapSpace, I’m impressed by how it helps shorten the time spent on cross-checking references for regulatory readiness and broader research needs. With clickable sources and clearly structured tables, it saves users time when sharing reports and streamlines workflows.

- Victoria Ball, Associate Director, Global Library Services, Incyte

LeapSpace shows me the queries it is building so that I can double check them. It’s a nice touch of transparency that’s important. The Trust Cards are very valuable because they save you time by verifying that the AI understands the topic and that you are on the same path. LeapSpace feels like a helper that minimizes the work required to gather all the information I need - research, the important authors, cross references. And it’s all in one space.

- David Henkelmann, IT professional and PhD student at Würzburg-Schweinfurt University of Applied Sciences, Germany
