This is not for the easily distracted among us 😆 Reading a paper about reproducibility and got puzzled with the word "face" being underlined in the phrase "on the face of it". Apparently, ScienceDirect now has an AI feature that gives you an overview of papers on a topic, in this case - face.

Screenshot of article text, where the word "face" in the phrase "on the face of it" is underlined, and there is a pop-up that says "Learn more about face from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages".

Screenshot of ScienceDirect's page on the topic of Face in the subject area of neuroscience.
