--- title: AI research assistants — AI Document Assistant for Business description: "This section collects the site's articles on virtual and AI-driven assistance for academic work. It covers what a digital research assistant can take over — literature searching and review, citation checking, proofreading and editing, data entry, article and grant writing support, CV preparation, scheduling, budget tracking and general research administration — and where a human researcher still has to lead. Articles compare AI tools with outsourced analysis, academic consultancy and human assistants, examine workflow automation for PhD students and supervisors, and discuss the risks that come with delegating: loss of authorial voice, dependence, unclear authorship and research integrity questions. Together they map how AI fits into higher education and scholarly communication." canonical: "https://your.phd/t/ai-research-assistants" author: your.phd editorial team source: "https://your.phd" topic: AI research assistants --- # AI research assistants This section collects the site's articles on virtual and AI-driven assistance for academic work.
