Description

Welcome to AI for Scholars, where academic research and writing meet artificial intelligence. This transformative course is designed for scholars, researchers, higher education students, and science communicators eager to integrate AI into their research processes ethically.

Embark on a journey to redefine your research process, from brainstorming your research problem to final publication and outreach activities. You'll discover how AI can not only streamline your workflow but also provide you with creative angles and methods you might not have considered on your own. Whether you're formulating your research question, conducting a literature review, or applying for funding, AI tools are ready to revolutionize every step of your research process and enhance all aspects of your professional life.


Course Structure

Aside from the introduction and concluding remarks, this course is divided into four sections:

  1. Benefits and limitations of AI: Before you begin using AI tools as a researcher, it's crucial to understand both the advantages and current limitations of AI, particularly Large Language Models like GPT. AI can significantly improve your work, but it's not a panacea for all problems

  2. Ethical considerations: I present you with a scholarly discussion of ethical concerns regarding the use of AI among academics and provide you with some essential rules to follow as a researcher or student when using AI tools ethically

  3. AI tools for academic research and writing: This section provides an overview of various AI and traditional tools that can be useful for academic research and writing. It includes general and academic AI chatbots, AI-powered services for finding scientific literature, and AI tools specifically designed to enhance your academic writing

  4. How to integrate AI into each step of the research process: Here, I will teach you how to incorporate AI tools into your daily academic life. I provide several PDFs with sample prompts and demonstrate how to use these prompts for each step of the research process, such as defining the research problem, incorporating interdisciplinary approaches, designing a methodology, searching for and applying for funding, and editing and proofreading your paper
