Write and reference

AI tools may be useful to help develop your writing skills, but an over-reliance on them for academic writing or the use of AI tools without appropriate acknowledgement may be considered academic misconduct.

Brainstorming and ideas generation

AI tools can be used to help prompt ideas for projects and research. Try asking for lists of topics, ideas and subject gaps or to suggest ideas. If there is a topic or area that you find difficult, ask what you can do to improve your understanding or approach.

Input

  • We are exploring ways to address smoking cessation in rural Australia. Can you generate 3-5 “How Might We” questions that could help us reframe the issue and inspire innovative solutions?
  • How would a child, a scientist, and an artist each solve the problem of plastic waste?
  • Give me a concise summary of the major strengths and weaknesses of carbon credits in Australia.

Organise notes

Input

Act as a helpful assistant by creating clear, well-organised, and informative meeting notes from the provided information:

Dec Meet

  • Planning a unit retreat. Discuss future research needs and to act with external collaborators. Funding issues and grants need to be included.
  • Unit awards to be discussed and ideas who added
  • Joe Bloggs will be away for the next month
  • The information chart and structure on Y drive needs everyone to update it.

Refine or get feedback

In your prompts, add a context or a role and ask for the specific type of feedback you want. Narrow it to one or two areas if it is too general and be clear about the amount of feedback. AI tools can also be used to check on grammar, spelling and structure in your writing. You can use it to rephrase a sentence or paragraph and to modify tone and audience.

Input

Methodology – A retrospective observational cohort study provides valuable data on real-world practices. – The study could benefit from a more robust analysis of causality versus correlation in [example].
Data & Analysis – Clear data presentation, with solid statistical analysis backing key findings. – The study could improve by including a comparison with similar regions or populations to generalize the results.
Recommendations – Practical and actionable recommendations aimed at reducing ambulance reliance, such as improving on-site care. – More specific interventions or pilot studies should be proposed to test these recommendations in practice.
