This hands-on workshop helps you develop personalized methods for using AI throughout the revising process—from reshaping arguments and logical structure to refining style and language. You will build your own prompts and reusable skills, practice critically assessing AI feedback, and apply these techniques to a text you are currently working on.

Discussions will address the epistemic demands of scientific writing as well as current AI policies at the university and in academic publishing. Come prepared to share experiences with colleagues, experiment with tools, and leave with a revised draft and a workflow you can keep using.

In this workshop, you will:

• identify and evaluate use cases for deploying AI legally and ethically, in light of the norms of your own field;

• create personalized LLM prompts and reusable skills for eliciting feedback on the different phases of writing, from argument and structure to copyediting and stylistic refinement;

• critically assess AI feedback against the epistemic demands of scientific writing in your discipline—authorial voice, conceptual precision, source integrity, and discursive positioning in the humanities and qualitative social sciences; precision, hedging, claim calibration, and reproducibility in the natural, life, and empirical sciences;
• apply these techniques to improve a piece of your own scientific writing.

Input segments by the instructor, hands-on exercises, peer discussion in discipline-based groups, plenary comparison across fields, and live demos of prompts and tools by the participants. Between the sessions, you will apply the techniques to your own writing and prepare to share the results in the second meeting.

Requirements

Please bring a laptop with access to an LLM chatbot (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Vibe) and an AI writing assistant (e.g., LanguageTool, DeepL Write, Grammarly) of your choice. If possible, also select a text or a section of a text you would like to work on in the workshop.
