Summary:

"This timely book provides a comprehensive, practical and critical framework for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into academic research. Rather than treating AI as a replacement for human thought, it proposes new synergistic relationships between human researchers and AI tools. Kudzayi Tarisayi explores how AI offers academics an opportunity to focus on critical inquiry, creative synthesis and ethical judgment. Examining the practical uses of AI across the research lifecycle, from topic formulation and literature discovery to data analysis and academic writing, the author concludes with a discussion of the ethical implications of adopting AI tools, such as inaccuracies, data security and responsible use. By offering hands-on examples of tools such as Elicit, Julius AI, and SciSpace, this crucial book equips the next generation of scholars to navigate the digital transformation of academic inquiry responsibly and effectively. Transforming Researchers for the AI Age is an essential tool for postgraduate students and supervisors, providing a practical framework for responsibly integrating AI tools into research. Experienced researchers will also greatly benefit from its in depth methodological guidelines for using AI to augment future projects"-- Provided by publisher.
