What can you use Keenious for?
Keenious is a search tool, based on artificial intelligence, that recommends relevant research articles by analysing text in the document you are working with. Keenious does not replace traditional search tools, but can be used as a supplement. It its particularly suitable for getting ideas and inspiration in the initial phase of working on a text.
You can either use the Keenious functionality in Word or on the program's website (keenious.com). The main difference between the two is that you mainly work with your own text in Word, while you use prompts to explore a topic and find relevant sources on the website.
The tool analyzes texts in several languages, but English works best since most of the research is in this language.
The Keenious tool in Word
As a student or employee at OsloMet, you will find Keenious in the toolbar in Word under "Home". Don't you have Keenious in the toolbar in Word? Add Keenious via "Home" and "Additions", or "Insert" and "Get Additions" in the toolbar.
When using Keenious, you can, for example, highlight parts of the text for which you want to find sources, and Keenious then displays the result on the right side of the document. You can also filter the "search" by keyword filtering, year or the number of citations (citation count). You can also use prompts to explore a topic.
If you use Keenious off campus, you must connect to the institutional network with VPN (student.oslomet.no).
Keenious in a web browser
On the Keenious website, you can log in with your email and password from OsloMet (keenious.com). The website works best when you want to explore a topic, either by uploading a PDF file, or entering a prompt.
