Using Generative AI To Do Research

Introduction

At York University Libraries we are enthusiastic to play a role in supporting students' education on the effective and appropriate use of generative AI tools, especially for research purposes connecting to coursework or assignments. We realize that students may encounter grey areas here.

  1. Guidelines & Considerations
  2. Benefits for Research
  3. Limitations for Research
  4. Verifying What you Find & Use
