Speed literature and analysis with AI — every claim still needs a source and a human check

RIA’s AI in Research programme is for scholars, analysts and R&D teams: grounded literature assistants, review screening, experiment logs and drafting assist for methods and related work.

It does not replace a supervisor, thesis, or ethics board. Related: Data Science & AI, AI in Biomedical and AI in Pharma.

What you will learn

  • Research questions, protocols, and evidence hierarchy
  • Literature databases and review types
  • RAG over papers with citations you can open
  • Screening assist for systematic reviews
  • Experiment tracking and notebook hygiene
  • Stats / viz copilots with verification
  • Authorship, plagiarism, and hallucination ethics
  • Methods appendix for a mini-study

Full program syllabus & curriculum

Domain literacy + applied AI labs + responsible review + capstone

  • AI in Research

    We teach AI for the research workflow — literature review, evidence synthesis, experiment tracking, analysis copilots and reproducible reporting — so scholars and R&D teams accelerate method, not invent citations. This is not a substitute for a thesis or IRB/ethics board.

    Domain Knowledge We Teach
    • Research question, protocol, and evidence hierarchy
    • Literature databases, citation, and review types
    • Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods literacy
    • Reproducibility, preregistration, and data management
    • Plagiarism, hallucination, and authorship ethics
    AI Skills You Will Learn
    • RAG assistants over papers with source-bound answers
    • Screening and coding assist for systematic reviews
    • Experiment logs, notebooks, and result summarisation
    • Stats / visualisation copilots with human verification
    • Drafting assist for related-work and methods sections
    Hands-on Outcomes
    • Build a source-grounded literature assistant for one topic
    • Run a screening workflow on a small paper set
    • Document prompts, models, and verification steps
    • Flag fabricated citations and over-claim risk
    • Present a research-AI methods appendix for a mini-study

Common questions

  • Will this write my thesis?

    No. Assistants may draft and retrieve. You verify sources, methods and claims. Fabricated citations are treated as a failure mode to detect, not a feature.

  • Is this only ChatGPT for students?

    No. The core is source-bound retrieval, screening workflows, reproducibility and disclosure — not generic chat.

  • Who is it for?

    Master’s/PhD candidates, industry R&D, policy/analyst teams, and faculty who want a responsible research-AI operating system.

Skills you build

  • Source-grounded literature assistants
  • Review screening workflows
  • Reproducible logs and prompt records
  • Methods write-ups that disclose AI use

Who this is for

  • Postgraduate and doctoral researchers
  • Industry R&D and insights teams
  • Faculty and research assistants
  • Analysts running evidence syntheses
