Advanced Research Workflows with AI Tools

Description

This workshop is designed for participants with initial experience using AI who want to work more intentionally on their research workflow. Instead of presenting a fixed list of tools, we focus on analysing one’s own research process to identify where AI tools can provide meaningful support – and which requirements a tool needs to meet in an academic context.

Together, we walk through typical steps in everyday research (literature search, text work, translation, analysis) and examine how digital and AI-based tools can be integrated in a useful way. Participants will get to know different tools, but more importantly: they will learn how to research, evaluate, and integrate tools independently, without being overwhelmed by the rapidly changing tool landscape (Image tools will not be considered).

Topics included:

• Workflow analysis: Where does effort accumulate in the research process, and where can AI realistically reduce it?
• Criteria for research-ready AI tools: quality, transparency, sources, data handling
• Hands-on: researching and testing tools
• First steps toward optimising one’s individual research workflow
