Influence of AI tools across research processes on the research productivity of postgraduate students in Nigerian public universities

A study investigated the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools on the research productivity of postgraduate students in Nigerian public universities. The research aimed to understand how AI tools, utilized across preparation, analysis, and dissemination stages, influence student research output, within the frameworks of UTAUT2 and Experiential Learning Theory. This study used a descriptive survey design with 312 respondents, but the specific results regarding influence on productivity are not detailed in the provided summary.

The integration of AI tools into academic research processes has significant implications for enhancing research output and quality globally, particularly in developing contexts. Understanding their influence on postgraduate student productivity can inform strategic investments in educational technology and capacity building, directly impacting national innovation and knowledge economies.

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly transforming research practices in higher education.
