Principles for using AI

Supported AI Software and Tools:

The Hub provides institutional access to a powerful suite of licensed software, each serving a distinct purpose in your research workflow:

  1. Gemini Pro/ChatGPT: A powerful, comprehensive AI assistant to help you brainstorm complex research ideas, outline initial manuscript drafts, and engage in deep conversational analysis regarding your topics.
  2. Grammarly: A sophisticated writing assistant focusing on advanced grammar, sentence structure, style, and tone, ensuring your final manuscript is polished, professional, and academically sound.
  3. Moonlight: An AI-powered PDF reader designed specifically for academic literature. It automatically highlights core methodologies, translates complex terminology in context, and provides instant, on-page explanations for difficult equations and tables.
  4. Julius (quantitative)/ NVivo: (qualitative) for Data analysis;
  5. Elicit: Create an AI powered table of research most relevant to you: ;

Note on Research Ethics: All tools provided in the Hub are carefully selected to adhere to high institutional and ethical standards. Our training staff place a strong emphasis on maintaining academic integrity, ensuring these platforms are used to accelerate your productivity as a research companion, never to replace your critical judgment.

To help you seamlessly integrate these tools into a daily workflow, the Central Library offers distinct training pathways and weekly Introductory Workshops covering the fundamentals of "Prompt Engineering for Academics" and "The Ethics of AI in Higher Education." Ideal for first-time users looking to understand what these tools can do.

We view this hub as a dynamic space, and we will be actively gathering feedback from our researchers and postgraduate faculty to continually improve and adapt this resource for the future.
