[Eril-l] Primary Research Group has published the Survey of Use of AI in Scientific & Academic Writing & Editing, ISBN 979-8-88517-225-7

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

This study presents data from a survey of 339 faculty predominantly in the
sciences and social sciences about their use of artificial intelligence to
improve their writing.

The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: are faculty using
AI to improve their writing?  How many are doing so and in what academic
fields is it most pronounced? Which applications are they using?  How many
are using ChatGPT? Bard/Gemini? How often are they using these applications
and for what kinds of writing?  What tasks in the writing process are they
using AI for and what problems have they encountered?  What advice can they
give to their peers?

Just a few of the many findings from this 49 page report are:

More than 36% of faculty teaching at colleges and universities with fewer
than 5,000 enrolled students FTE were using AI as an aid in their writing.

Faculty teaching in medical schools submitted 19.5% of their writing
projects to an artificial intelligence application for editing or other
improvement.

Younger respondents are far likelier than older ones to feel that AI was
helping their writing.

Data in the report was derived from a survey drawing 339 responses from
faculty from 100 colleges and universities in the USA; it was conducted
from November 2023 to February 2024.

Data is broken out by variables related to the institutional affiliation of
the survey participants (enrollment size, public/private status/ as well as
personal characteristics such as age, gender and academic field.
