This workshop is designed to introduce researchers and PhD students to some useful AI tools that are shaping the future of academic research practice and show how these tools can be used in a systematic literature search.

In the workshop we will explore the joining of AI and traditional research methods, focusing on key aspects like exploring relevant keywords for constructing search strings. This workshop is designed to equip researchers and PhD students with advanced AI tools such as Research Rabbit as well as more commonly available tools like Chat GPT, Bing-Chat, in order to excel in literature search, while maintaining a critical mindset and academic integrity. We will discuss how to nurture a critical mindset and approach to AI in literature search, ensuring the quality and relevance of sources.
