Revolutionises academic writing: A new era for research papers
Capacity development Academic diplomacy, Content policy, Pedagogy Updates
Artificial intelligence is now credited with contributing to at least 10% of research papers, soaring to 20% in computer science, as revealed by The Economist. Research from the University of Tubingen highlights a significant shift in academic writing, driven by advancements in large language models. AI aids non-native English speakers, simplifies coding tasks, and accelerates the drafting of research manuscripts, but there are concerns about it reinforcing existing viewpoints and inflating publication volume. In response, scientific journals seek solutions, and Diplo has implemented the Kaizen publishing method, balancing AI updates with human-reflective writing. The academic landscape is set for further evolution as AI reshapes research and publication.
