Overview

The workshop equips participants with the knowledge and skills to leverage Generative AI (Gen AI) in their academic research and writing. Participants will explore AI-powered tools for literature reviews, references management, academic writing, and research dissemination while addressing ethical considerations, academic integrity, and limitations. The session includes practical demonstrations, hands-on activities, and discussions on integrating AI responsibly in academic research and writing.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the workshop, participants will

  • explain how Gen AI can assist throughout the academic research process from literature review to gap analysis and writing.
  • utilise AI tools for efficient literature searches, summarisation, and citation management.
  • apply AI-assisted writing techniques for drafting, refining, and formatting research papers.
  • identify the ethical implications, limitations, and biases of AI in research.
  • integrate AI tools effectively into their research process while maintaining academic integrity.

Note:

  • Participants are asked to bring their laptops. Hands-on scenarios will be included, but academics will be encouraged to employ the Gen AI tools introduced to their area of specialisation.
