The JSTOR AI Research Tool beta program is available until at least the end of the year. This beta program is a pilot of an interactive tool using artificial intelligence to help users browse the contents of the JSTOR database. The goal of the JSTOR AI Research Tool is to assist in finding key ideas, evaluating the relevance of texts, and discovering related topics.
