Overview: This book aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers, academics, and students on the use of generative AI-enhanced research tools throughout the research process. With the increasing integration of artificial intelligence into research methodologies, there is an urgent need to explore both the practical benefits and the ethical challenges associated with these tools. The book will provide critical insights, practical guidance, and ethical reflections on the use of generative AI in research and how AI is reshaping the way research is conceptualized, conducted, and published. By offering perspectives from experienced researchers and early-career scholars alike, this edited volume will serve as a key reference for navigating AI use within academic research.
