Using AI for Academic Research

All Duke undergraduate students have access to Microsoft Copilot, a paid AI companion tool built on Large Language Models like GPT4, as well as ChatGPT.

You may find it useful to use generative AI for the following tasks: 

  • Generating keywords
    • Example prompt:

      Generate a list of keywords for the research question "[Your research question]"

  • Generate search strategies

    • Example prompt: 

      Generate a search strategy for the research question "[your research question]"

Don't expect AI to do all the work for you but rather treat it as a thought partner. You will want to assess keywords it suggests and edit search strategies it creates to fit your research question.
