The AI-readiness checklist

Dear Scholar,

Everybody has heard about AI, but very few have mastered the art of using it effectively. I decided to design a small test that will help you determine how good you are at using AI as an academic. Answer these 10 yes/no questions to find out your AI readiness score.

The article also features in-depth explanations and links in case you couldn't answer something and would like to know more about the topic.

Free SciSpace Webinar on Agentic Search

Join this live webinar to discover how SciSpace's new AI agent feature can go beyond ChatGPT to handle complex, research-specific tasks. You’ll see real use cases where agents can generate ideas, replicate methods, and even discover datasets to accelerate your academic work.

  • ​The difference between AI agents vs. ChatGPT and why it matters for researchers
  • ​Research use cases that an agent can solve that ChatGPT isn’t designed for
  • ​Generate new research ideas from existing data
  • ​Replicate methods from a published paper on your dataset
  • ​Find all publicly available datasets on a topic & auto-build a structured table

You will need SciSpace Premium Subscription to make full use of AI Agents. But even if you are not planning to subscribe, learning the difference between AI Agents and regular large language models will be greatly beneficial to you. Hope to see you in the webinar.

Academic Writing Apps Comparison Dear Scholar, In this week’s article, I want to compare three tools for academic writing: PaperPal, which is made for academics, ChatGPT, a general-purpose tool and Grammarly, which is optimised for grammar. It turns out there is no best tool out there. The question is, rather, when should you use which tool? This article suggests using ChatGPT in the brainstorming and ideation phase of your writing due to its general purpose and customizability. Then move on...
