Use AI ethically across research in 2026: literature synthesis, academic writing, grants, references and peer review, with integrity and verified citations.
The course’s skills. The same ones appear on your Certificate of Completion, so you can show what you covered.
A premium, practical, and rigorously honest course on using artificial intelligence across the entire academic research lifecycle in 2026 — for graduate students, PhD candidates, postdocs, faculty, and independent researchers. You will learn to use AI as a scholarly co-pilot: discovering and synthesizing literature, taking smart notes, structuring papers, sharpening academic writing (especially for non-native English speakers), summarizing dense articles, brainstorming research questions, structuring grant proposals, building presentations and posters, getting conceptual help with data-analysis code, managing references, and reading peer review more effectively. Every module is anchored in one non-negotiable spine: academic integrity. AI is a thinking and drafting aid, never a ghostwriter, never a source of citations, and never a way to fabricate data or claim work that is not your own. You will get ready-to-use prompts, worked examples, and workflows, plus explicit guidance on citation hallucination, disclosure policies, confidentiality, and accountability. This is educational content and does not replace your institution's policy, your ethics board, or legal advice.
For professionals who want to use AI in their everyday work, without writing code. It belongs to AI Productivity, on the Business track.
Intermediate level: it helps to already know the basics of AI and of the course’s field. No programming required.

How AI Fits the Research Workflow in 2026
By 2026, artificial intelligence has quietly become part of almost every stage of academic work — but not in the way the hype suggests. It does not do research for you.
Written lessons, with examples and exercises. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can pick up where you left off.
Select a passage and it explains it, gives you an example or tells you why it matters. You can type or talk to it, in English.
Every lesson has its own quiz, with explanations for the answers: 318 questions across the course. The professor also summarizes the lesson and prepares review flashcards.
