Use of AI Tools by Researchers in Academic Writing Processes

Welcome!

The aim of this study is to explore how researchers use artificial intelligence (AI) in their academic writing processes. The study is part of an independent research project conducted by the AI Usage in Academic Writing research group comprised of researchers from the ThinkTank "Academic Writing and AI" founded by the Virtual Competence Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Academic Writing (Dr. Juliane Felder, FH Nordwestschweiz; Elisa Rauter, University of Klagenfurt; Rosalie Schneegaß, University of Bremen; Dr. Nadine Stahlberg, Hamburg University of Technology, Erika Unterpertinger, University of Vienna; Dr. Dzifa Vode, Nuremberg Institute of Technology).

The term "AI" includes both text-generating applications (e.g. Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini) as well as other writing-related AI applications, used for example in literature research (e.g. Elicit, Semantic Scholar, Perplexity) or text editing (e.g. DeepL Write). In the following questionnaire the term “AI tools” will be used to refer to all AI applications. The survey is anonymous, and no personal information that could identify participants will be published or shared with third parties.

Completing the survey will require approximately 10 to 15 minutes.

Thank you for participating!
