Abstract

Research with AI: A Simple Step-by-Step Practical Guide offers a timely, realistic blueprint for scholars trying to navigate the massive influx of generative tools without losing their analytical depth. By treating artificial intelligence as a form of "cognitive scaffolding" rather than a substitute for human thought, the authors deliver a highly practical framework for maintaining strict scientific integrity across the entire research lifecycle.
