Free guide by bloopcommits (@bloopcommits) · https://bloopcommits.pages.dev/elicit/

Thesis ya assignment ke liye research paper dhoondhna aur har paper ka abstract padhna bahut time leta hai. Elicit ek AI research assistant hai jo academic papers mein search karne aur unka summary dene ke liye bana hai. Is guide mein dekhoge ki Elicit kya hai, free plan mein kya milta hai (Elicit ke apne page ke hisaab se), achha sawaal kaise likhte hain, aur sabse zaroori baat: kisi paper ko reference banane se pehle use khud kaise check karte hain.

## Elicit kya hai

Elicit ka home page ise AI for Scientific Research kehta hai, aur pricing page ise The AI Research Assistant. Tum ek research question likhte ho, wo academic papers mein search karta hai aur papers ka summary dikhata hai. Home page par interactive tables aur sentence-level citations ka bhi zikr hai. Use karne ke liye account chahiye: page par Sign up aur Sign in ke button hain.

## Free (Basic) plan mein kya hai

Ye sab Elicit ke pricing page ke hisaab se hai. Plans aur limits badalte rehte hain, isliye neeche diye links se aaj ka page ek baar zaroor dekh lo. Paid plans ke prices isliye nahi diye.

| Cheez | Basic (free), pricing page ke hisaab se |
| --- | --- |
| Search | Unlimited search across more than 138 million papers |
| Summaries | Unlimited summaries across as many papers as you want |
| Chat with papers | Unlimited chat with papers with full-text access |
| Sources | Answers ke sources dekh sakte ho |
| Research Agent aur Research Reports | Limited usage |

- Elicit ke home page ke FAQ ke hisaab se sabse powerful workflows aur features paid plan mein hain, aur free plan alag se diya gaya hai.
- Elicit ka database 138 million papers ka hai aur Help Center ke hisaab se har hafte update hota hai. Isme books aur dissertations nahi hain: sirf journal articles, conference proceedings, preprints aur working papers.

## Pehle ye samajh lo: Elicit khud kya kehta hai

Elicit ka apna Help Center (Elicit's limitations page) saaf likhta hai ki use kitna bharosa karna hai. Ye teen baatein yaad rakho.

> **Elicit ki apni limitations**
>
> - Kabhi kabhi Elicit paper ki baareeki miss kar sakta hai, ya samajh nahi paata ki ek number kis cheez ke baare mein hai (Help Center ke words: can miss the nuance of a paper or misunderstand what a number refers to).
> - Elicit ek kharab study ka summary bhi waise hi banata hai jaise achhi study ka. Wo abhi nahi jaanta ki kaunsa paper zyada bharose ka hai.
> - Agar paper ka full text uske paas nahi hai, to Elicit sirf title aur abstract use karta hai.

- Elicit ka Help Center ye bhi kehta hai ki abhi tak uska focus empirical research par raha hai, jaise social sciences ya biomedicine ke randomized controlled trials. Har subject mein ek jaisa achha kaam nahi karta.
- Confirmation bias se bachne ke liye wo suggest karta hai ki ek baat ke dono taraf ke papers dhoondho.

## Step by step: sawaal se paper tak

1. Elicit ke page par Sign up karke account banao.
2. Ek clear, poora sawaal likho. Elicit ka Help Center kehta hai: sirf keywords ki jagah poora sawaal likhne se search aur jawab dono behtar hote hain. Uska example: "deworming effectiveness" ki jagah "How much does mass deworming improve health?".
3. Pehle results dekhkar sawaal ko broad ya specific karo. Bahut kam relevant paper aaye to sawaal ko broad karo, aur bahut saare semi-relevant aaye to specific karo.
4. Jo paper kaam ke lagein, unka title aur abstract padho aur ek chhoti shortlist banao.
5. Summary ko ek hint samjho, proof nahi. Jis paper ko use karna hai, use asli jagah se kholo.
6. Elicit ke tables mein columns tum khud bhi bana sakte ho. Help Center ka example: "Add a column for study type."

## Sawaal ke templates (banaya hua example)

Ye templates humne banaye hain, Elicit ke nahi. Papers zyadatar English mein hote hain, isliye sawaal English mein likhna theek rehta hai. < > ki jagah apna topic likho.

**Seedha sawaal (banaya hua example)**

```
What is the effect of <factor> on <outcome> among <group of people>?
```

**Do cheezein compare karne ke liye (banaya hua example)**

```
How does <method A> compare with <method B> for <outcome>?
```

**Dono taraf ke papers ke liye (banaya hua example)**

```
What evidence supports <claim>, and what evidence challenges it?
```

**Thesis ke background ke liye (banaya hua example)**

```
What are the main methods used to study <topic>, and what are their limitations?
```

## Apna findings table (banaya hua example)

Reel wali picture hamari apni drawing thi, aur uske columns humne banaye the. Aisa table tum spreadsheet mein bhi bana sakte ho. Har paper ke liye ek row banao aur har cell paper khol ke khud bharo. Elicit ka summary bas ek pehla draft hai.

| PAPER | SAMPLE | METHOD | NATIJA |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Paper 1 (title aur author paper se copy karo) | kitne log / kya data | kaise kiya gaya | kya nikla |
| Paper 2 | ... | ... | ... |
| Paper 3 | ... | ... | ... |

## Reference dene se pehle checklist

1. Asli paper (journal ka page ya PDF) khola?
2. Title, author aur journal ka naam paper se milaye, summary se nahi?
3. Sirf abstract nahi, method aur results wala hissa bhi padha?
4. Summary mein jo baat thi, wo paper mein likhi mili?
5. Jis number ka zikr hai, uska matlab paper mein dekha (kis cheez ka percent, kitne logon par)?
6. Study kaisi hai: kitne log the, kis type ki study hai? Ye Elicit khud tumhare liye nahi tolta.
7. Ek hi taraf ke nahi, dono taraf ke papers dekhe?

> **Elicit ka content copy mat karo**
>
> - Elicit ka Help Center kehta hai ki uska content verbatim apne kaam mein copy-paste karna recommend nahi karta. Wo tumhari samajh badhane ke liye hai, tumhara apna text nahi.
> - Uska ye bhi kehna hai ki aise paste kiya hua text AI writing detector mein flag ho sakta hai, tumhare school ki policy ke hisaab se.
> - Elicit ko khud cite karna ho to uske Help Center mein example citations diye hain.

## Aam galtiyan

- Summary padhke seedha reference list mein daal dena, asli paper khole bina.
- Ye maan lena ki Elicit sirf achhe papers dikhata hai. Wo kharab study ka bhi waisa hi summary banata hai.
- Bina full text wale paper ke baare mein poori baat maan lena, jabki Elicit ne sirf abstract padha ho.
- Sirf ek hi taraf ke papers uthana.
- Free plan ki limits ko pakka maan lena. Limits badalti rehti hain, official page dekho.
- Elicit ka text copy karke assignment mein paste kar dena.

## Chhota practice plan (ye advice hai, guarantee nahi)

1. Apne thesis ya assignment ka ek topic chuno aur uska ek clear sawaal likho.
2. Elicit mein wo sawaal chalao aur dekho kaunse papers aate hain.
3. Teen papers shortlist karo aur unka title aur abstract padho.
4. Ek paper asli jagah se kholo aur method aur results khud padho.
5. Upar wale table mein us paper ki row apne shabdon mein bharo.
6. Checklist ke saare sawaal us paper par chalao, tab hi use reference mein daalo.

> **Yaad rakho**
>
> - Elicit = papers dhoondhne aur summary dene wala AI research assistant. Account chahiye.
> - Free plan ki details Elicit ke page ke hisaab se hain, aur limits badalti rehti hain.
> - Elicit khud kehta hai ki wo kabhi kabhi paper ki baareeki ya number ka matlab galat samajh sakta hai.
> - Reference dene se pehle asli paper kholo aur khud padho: ye hamara rule hai.
