PENINGKATAN KAPASITAS RISET MAHASISWA MELALUI PELATIHAN AI UNTUK PENELUSURAN LITERATUR DAN PENYUSUNAN MANUSKRIP ILMIAH

Abstract

The training on the use of artificial intelligence for literature retrieval and scientific manuscript preparation was conducted to strengthen students’ research capacity in response to increasingly demanding academic requirements. Many students still experience difficulties in finding relevant references, analyzing scientific literature, and composing manuscripts that meet academic writing standards. This training aimed to provide comprehensive knowledge on how artificial intelligence can support research activities, including effective literature search strategies, extraction of essential information, reference management, and structured manuscript drafting. The activity was carried out through material delivery, direct demonstrations of artificial intelligence applications, and interactive discussions without hands-on practice. The results show an improvement in participants’ understanding of artificial intelligence concepts, their ability to identify relevant literature, their skills in analyzing article content, and their confidence in using technology to support research. Participants also demonstrated better skills in drafting the initial structure of a manuscript and in understanding reference management processes. Overall, the training effectively enhanced students’ research competencies and provided useful digital skills aligned with current academic needs. This program is expected to continue so that students are increasingly prepared to meet research demands in higher education.
