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.

Updates to The 3 Core Tools For Literature Search Dear Scholar, If you have been following me for a while, you might have heard of the "AI search loop." Given a question, this method is a thorough yet rapid way to find relevant scientific literature. Today's newsletter covers recent updates to all involved tools. Most interestingly, Google Scholar is now becoming an alternative to pricy AI tools. (See below what it means for the big picture.) Here's how the search loop works: Based on a...

Dear Reader, Last week, I made a post on using AI for academic writing, which enraged the community like nothing I have ever written. 4 Million views & about 400 hate comments. A dozen people even took the time to reach out to the dean of my university & my supervisors (yet none to me personally). I don't think even 1% read past the hook ("I wrote 4000 words for my thesis with AI") and ignored that the basis for the entire process were my own papers, the workflow included deep-reading &...
