From QUT News:
Associate Professor Michelle Riedlinger, from the QUT School of Communication, has been awarded $512,091 for the project Generative AI and the future of academic writing and publishing.
Examining the impact of Generative AI technologies on scholarly research and publishing, the project aims to investigate how these tools are shaping the future of academic research from search to publication, including how academic publishers and peak research advisory bodies are responding to the potential of these technologies.
Professor Riedlinger said the project will develop a framework for understanding the social and technical drivers shaping the debate and inform cross-sector principles to promote a more consistent and critical response by key stakeholders.
“In doing so, we hope to support ongoing learning within scholarly communities for a more responsive national research system, optimising GenAI for public good,” she said.
Other team members include Professor Peta Mitchell, Professor Jean Burgess and Dr Aaron Snoswell, also from the QUT School of Communication, and Dr Jake Goldenfein from Melbourne Law School.
