Tool AI Selected according to the various stages of academic research:

In recent years, we have seen the development of various AI tools integrated into all stages of academic research information retrieval. This includes everything from formulating research questions and reviewing existing literature, to locating sources, comparing articles, and finally, analyzing, summarizing, and concluding them. Judicious use of these tools throughout the different work stages, including verifying results, can significantly enhance and streamline our ability to work with complex texts from diverse types and sources. It also allows us to integrate them into research effectively, relying on natural language communication and minimizing time spent.

Below is a partial list of all artificial intelligence (AI) tools, sorted by various research stages. This list does not constitute a recommendation for using any AI tools and is supplementary to the general policy detailed in the regulations.

Planning Phase: Tools for Formulating a Research Question / Developing Search Strategies / Terms and Keywords

  1. Gemini – universal language model
  2. Claude – Universal Language Model

Search Phase: Tools for searching academic sources, processing and analyzing articles, literature reviews, summarizing, and comparing

  1. SciSpace – locates, displays, and compares sources, and creates a basis for literature review according to the user's query
  2. Elicit – Locates, presents, and compares sources, and creates a basis for literature review according to the user's query.
  3. Undermind – locates, displays, and compares sources, and creates a basis for literature review according to the user's query
  4. ResearchRabbit – enables finding and creating a network of articles on a specific topic based on a core article/topic chosen by the user in the interface. The core article can be uploaded in advance or searched for through the tool itself. Visually presents the analysis of connections between the displayed articles.

Results Processing Stage: Tools for text analysis, article summarization, translation, and writing assistance

  1. Google NotebookLM: Google's research assistant – enables uploading articles and files (PDFs, texts, websites) and generating diverse content from them.
  2. docAnalyzer – Allows uploading files and asking questions about the file.
  3. AskYourPDF – Allows uploading files and asking questions about the file.
  4. Grammar Checker – checks and improves writing, grammar, and spelling – a chatgpt tool
  5. ChatPDF AI – A chatgpt tool – allows uploading files and asking questions about the file.

The Israel Tax Authority is a governmental body responsible for tax collection in Israel, belonging to the Ministry of Finance.

The Tax Authority unifies the various tax departments: Income Tax, Real Estate Taxation, Value Added Tax, Purchase Tax, Customs, and Stamp Tax.
The Authority provides services on reforms, non-profit organizations, and information for employers, representatives, and the public.

The legal division of the Tax Authority handles matters at both the civil and criminal levels.

In the criminal sphere, the division handles the planning and management of criminal cases related to significant tax offenses in VAT and customs, as well as basic offenses in income tax, VAT, and customs.

Judicial authority in Israel is vested in the Judicial Branch. The Judicial Branch comprises Israel's court system, headed by the Supreme Court, as well as various tribunals. The court system itself consists of three instances: the Supreme Court, District Courts, and Magistrates' Courts.

The independence of the judiciary is guaranteed against interference from the legislative and executive branches. Below is a detailed explanation and expansion on the history of law and jurisdiction in the State of Israel.
