FAQs

What is AI for Academic?

AI for Academic is a knowledge base about academic research, writing, and decision-making, with a specific focus on how AI can support thinking—not replace it.

This site is not about tools, hacks, or productivity shortcuts.
It is about understanding how academic work actually functions, from editorial decisions to research workflows.


Is this a blog about AI tools?

No.

AI appears here only when it plays a legitimate role inside a real research workflow—for example, helping with outlining, stress-testing logic, or literature screening.

There are no standalone tool reviews, rankings, or “best AI for X” articles.


Who is this site for?

This site is written for:

  • researchers,
  • clinicians doing academic work,
  • graduate students,
  • and anyone seriously involved in scholarly publishing.

If you are looking for quick writing tips or automation tricks, this site is probably not a good fit.


Do you provide templates, checklists, or courses?

Some articles include artifacts (frameworks, checklists, or workflow maps), but only when they emerge naturally from real practice.

This is not a course platform, and it does not aim to teach step-by-step writing.


Do you use AI to write papers?

No.

AI is used here as a thinking aid, not as an author.
Interpretation, claims, and scholarly judgment always remain human decisions.


Is this site affiliated with journals, publishers, or AI companies?

No.

Any mention of tools or platforms is contextual and experience-based, not sponsored.

Affiliate links—if any—exist only to document real workflows, not to drive clicks.
