Facing the conflict between increasing demands and limited human resources in university novelty search centers,generative artificial intelligence(GAI)-enabled solutions have emerged as a priority. There is a need to develop a participatory framework for GAI-enhanced scientific novelty search under the guidance of novelty search staff. This article evaluates the performance of eight generative AI tools,including ERNIE Bot,MetaLLM,KIMI,ChatGLM,Qwen,iFlytek Spark,CNKI Assistant,and WOS Assistant,focusing on specific novelty search phases. The study suggests that GAI obviously improves search efficiency in terms of learning unfamiliar technical knowledge and understanding and expanding search terms;for Chinese literature retrieval,it is possible to improve novelty search efficiency through phase-specific augmentation by comprehensively using MetaLLM,KIMI,ERNIE Bot,and CNKI Assistant;with further improvement of intelligence,both CNKI Assistant and WOS Assistant show promising potential in Chinese and English literature retrieval. After repeated testing,a context-based "four-part" prompting framework is designed to effectively improve the relevance of GAI-enhanced literature retrieval.
