The Use of AI Applications by Students to Improve the Quality of Scientific Research: A Field Study on a Sample of Students from Al Kufra University - Faculty of Science"

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the use of AI applications by students in improving the quality of scientific research. The researchers employed a descriptive survey method using an electronic questionnaire as a data collection tool. The questionnaire was distributed to students of the Faculty of Science at Al Kufra University, with a total of 56 respondents. The study reached several important conclusions, the most notable of which are: AI applications positively contribute to enhancing the quality of scientific research and play an effective role in improving researchers' performance in research processes. Additionally, students frequently use AI applications in scientific research, with 67.9% of them reporting frequent use, while 17.8% stated they always use these applications. On the other hand, 14.3% of the students reported that they rarely use these applications. The study recommended that supervisors and reviewers closely monitor the work submitted by graduating students, as many of these works have become standardized and do not reflect the personal contribution of the researcher. This can help ensure the quality and originality of the research.
