Introducing LeapSpace – a next-generation AI-assisted workspace to accelerate scientific research and discovery
November 21, 2025New integrated workspace will combine the broadest collection of trusted scientific content with responsible AI to help researchers move from curiosity to discovery faster
Elsevier, a global leader in advanced information and decision support in science and healthcare, introduces LeapSpace™, a next-generation AI-assisted workspace built to transform how academic and corporate scientists work. Designed for speed, collaboration, and discovery, LeapSpace empowers academic and corporate researchers to uncover deeper insights, accelerate innovation, and collaborate seamlessly - in one secure environment they can trust.
84% of researchers say they have used AI tools in their work but only 22% trust existing tools. Designed with thousands of researchers, LeapSpace builds on the success of ScienceDirect AI and Scopus AI, bringing together the broadest collection of peer-reviewed scientific content and responsible AI. It includes innovative Trust Cards, a foundational capability that provides context and transparency into every result, supporting critical thinking and helping researchers calibrate the strength of the evidence.
“LeapSpace enables researchers to move from curiosity to discovery without leaving trusted ground,” said Judy Verses, President, Academic and Government, Elsevier. “By combining an unparalleled body of peer-reviewed research with responsible AI, we’re supporting the research community to build on the strongest foundations of trusted knowledge to advance human progress.”
A trusted foundation for scientific progress
Unlike general-purpose AI tools that typically rely on unverified web data, LeapSpace draws only from the world’s most trusted scientific content. It already includes the largest collection of research abstracts as well as millions of peer-reviewed full-text articles and books from Elsevier and other leading scientific publishers and societies, which will continually expand. Our vision is to enable researchers to build on the strongest foundations of trusted knowledge, harnessing the power of responsible AI, to advance progress.
