Socrates does research better than you ever could.
Search ≄ Research
Researchers, Information Experts, Analysts and Intelligence Officers are tasked with finding information and data for reports and findings that move the organization forward. The first stop is always Google, which is a search engine: type in a query - get results - and then good luck...
You’re left to sort through endless results, with nowhere to annotate, share, refine - it’s tens and even hundreds of hours of tedious manual data analysis.
​
The same goes for academic search engines like Google Scholar and Microsoft Academic: endless data - no way to automatically catalogue and organize it - no inferences - no mapping connections between Co-Authors and research entities - no way to organize the research simply and clearly and get it ready for a powerful report.
​
It’s time to up your research - it’s time for Socrates!

"Socrates, an AI research tool originally developed for security agencies by Israel-based company Omnisol, is now being used by Israeli hospitals to advance coronavirus research.
​
Socrates allows analysis of emerging technologies and is capable of determining their possible applications, both now and in the future, as well as pinpointing relevant researchers, experts, and companies working in the field."

Literature Review and Knowledge Distribution During an Outbreak:
A Methodology for Managing Infodemics
"This artificial intelligence–based data harvesting research engine simplified the integration of multiple online sources (including social media and preprint archives) and enabled complex literature review designs with an unlimited number of search terms. Additionally, every search term could be further defined for the level of impact it should have on the results: the user could mark a term as obligatory and harvest results that necessarily contained that term, the user could boost a term to increase the visibility of results that contained that term, or the user could give penalties to terms to decrease the visibility of results with that term."
