AI for researcher
Cases of researchers using AI to review literature, organize references, analyze data and write more clearly, with attention to invented citations.
Each case includes the original account with a link to the source, what worked, what went wrong and a prompt we wrote for you to adapt to your own situation. Replace what is in brackets with your own details and review the result before using it.
7 cases, 1 of them from Brazil, from newest to oldest. The tools that show up most in these accounts are Claude, SciSpace, and Claude in Chrome. The most common topics are education and study, programming, and productivity. Every case is checked by hand before it enters the directory.
