Literature Reviews in the Age of AI

This workshop explores how graduate students can approach literature reviews in the age of AI, with an emphasis on sound research practices and responsible tool use. Participants will review the core purposes and components of an effective literature review, then learn about a range of tools that can support the process—from database features and citation management software to emerging AI-assisted tools. The session will highlight practical strategies, limitations, and ethical considerations, helping students make informed decisions about when and how to use these tools to strengthen their scholarship.

This workshop is part of the Career Toolkit for Graduate Students workshop series. Career Toolkit for Graduate Students & Postdocs is a workshop series aiming to provide early career researchers with tips, tools, and best practices across the research lifecycle as well as prepare students for life beyond school.

The series is hosted weekly by Seth Vuletich, Scholarly Communications Librarian.
