Leveraging Al in research writing enhances efficiency by automating tasks such as data collection and analysis, leading to increased productivity (Trần, 2023). Al tools can improve the quality of research papers by assisting in structuring and minimizing errors, ensuring content relevance and coherence (Kammer, 2023). Additionally, they make research writing more accessible, benefiting non-native speakers and individuals with disabilities, thus democratizing the field (Alordiah, 2023). Al's superior analytical capabilities enable the efficient handling of complex datasets, uncovering new insights, and improving the depth of research findings (Duan, Edwards, & Dwivedi, 2019). I have seen peers reference Large Language Models in their discussion posts, maintaining transparency; however, I view this as unnecessary since the user's choice in model, training data, and input/prompt dictates the output. Moreover, the user must diligently review and edit outputs to mitigate any biases and/ or hallucinations that may appear.

Yes, it is ethical to use AI tools for research work, provided that they are used responsibly and ethically.

Thank You Adil Hussain for shairing the information. Could also suggest which AI tools helps and enhance the research productivity.

One of the popular AI tools nowadays is ChatGPT, also some tools are helpful for the literature like SciSpace, PaperDigest, ChatDoc, Scholarcy, Elicit, etc.
