Excerpt
"Imagine this scenario, a doctoral student dedicating six months to meticulously gathering sources, cross-referencing findings, and synthesising insights for their literature review."
"Concurrently, an undergraduate, utilising Deep Research tools, produces a comparable analysis, complete with citations, nuanced connections between sources, and identification of key themes, in less than an hour. Fantasy? For how much longer?"
It is time to reimagine how we teach, and in the case of this hypothetical scenario, the research process!
As I completed my literature review in 2022 for my recent dissertation, I thought about what the research would have been like sitting in a library rummaging through the library catalog cards. Instead, I could search, download, and save journal articles sitting at my desk at home.
