FAQ

What is Elicit not a good fit for?

What types of data can Elicit search over?

Elicit searches across 200 million academic papers from theSemantic Scholarcorpus, which covers all academic disciplines. When you extract data from papers in Elicit, Elicit will use the full text if available or the abstract if not.
