| DESCRIPTION | This workshop equips doctoral students with the knowledge and skills to leverage Generative 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 into their PhD journey. The workshop subscribes to the European Research Area’s Living Guidelines on the Responsible Use of Generative AI in Research adopted by the University of Malta. Learning Outcomes: By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: - Understand the role of Generative AI: explain how generative AI can assist in academic research and writing. - Enhance literature reviews: utilise AI tools for efficient literature searches, summarisation, and citation management. - Improve academic writing: apply AI-assisted writing techniques for drafting, refining, and formatting research papers. - Ensure ethical and responsible use: recognise the ethical implications, limitations, and biases of AI in research. - Develop AI-enhanced workflows: integrate AI tools effectively into their research process while maintaining academic integrity. |
