5.3 Other Information and Wrap-up

AI use beyond paper writing

Generative AI can also streamline many parts of a researcher’s daily work.

  • Code writing: “Let Python handle boring tasks (after asking ChatGPT how).”
  • Data analysis: Ask about Excel or R usage. With paid ChatGPT plans, no-code analysis is also possible in some workflows.
  • Administrative writing: draft templates and routine documents. Syllabus checks are a typical use case.
  • Grant applications: use AI for pre-submission self-checks against reviewer criteria (write the content yourself).

FAQ

Q: There are many tools, and I do not know how to use them effectively.

A: Think of tools as one part of your overall strategy for writing and research. They are support tools that extend your ability. Choose what fits you and maximize outcomes. Because new tools appear constantly, it is important to stay selective and keep revising your toolkit.

Wrap-up: writing English papers in the AI era

Generative AI is a powerful tool for making English academic writing more efficient. However, what determines the value of a paper is not AI output but your judgment, interpretation, and responsibility as a researcher.

Four messages:

  1. Transparency: disclose AI use appropriately
  2. Verification: verify all AI outputs yourself
  3. AI as a partner: use AI to complement and strengthen your work
  4. Balance: use AI to improve quality, not to replace academic skill growth

Use AI not as a crutch that replaces your English, but as a training partner that helps you strengthen it. The stronger your foundational English ability, the more benefit you can gain.

Please try the prompts and checklists introduced in this site in your real writing practice, and keep writing more papers in English to share your work with the world.
