• In week 2, participants focus on the literature review stage of academic research using AI-powered discovery tools. Participants explore how AI can support the refinement of research questions, the location of relevant peer-reviewed studies, and the identification of evidence-based answers efficiently.

    Participants work hands-on with Google Scholar AI enhanced features, SciSpace, Consensus, and AnswerThis, supported by ChatGPT or Gemini, while learning to compare results, evaluate relevance, and make informed decisions about which sources merit deeper reading. The emphasis is on transparency, critical thinking, and understanding how different AI tools approach academic search.
