Doctoral Students Explore LeapSpace’s Research Capabilities

A meeting dedicated to the use of LeapSpace in academic research was held at the Higher School of Economics and Business of Farabi University. The session was led by Shynggys Nurgazy, Deputy Dean for Research, Innovation and International Relations, and brought together doctoral students of the faculty.

LeapSpace is an AI-powered research platform developed by Elsevier to support scientific literature searches and analysis, the development of research ideas, and the identification of research gaps. The platform draws on scholarly publications and enables users to consult the original sources to verify its responses.

The meeting focused on opportunities to use LeapSpace when preparing doctoral dissertations and research articles. Particular attention was given to digital tools for reviewing literature, refining research questions, and developing the theoretical foundations of a study.

Learning to use these tools can strengthen doctoral students’ research skills and help them organize their work more effectively. Their use also requires critical evaluation of the information obtained, verification of original sources, and adherence to the principles of academic integrity.
