Tools, uses and misuses of AI in academic research at ULB
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Consensus or other AI assistants are reshaping academic research, offering exciting possibilities but also raising critical questions. In this table ronde, we’ll explore how these tools work, their strengths and limitations, and how to use them effectively for tasks like literature searches, idea generation, critical review or content refinement. We’ll also address ethical concerns, ULB’s guidelines for responsible use, and strategies for maintaining research integrity. A call will also be made for a working group to further address these questions, bringing together PhD students and researchers from various disciplines.

Data Pipeline: from collection to publication
Over the last years, we converged to certain habits in terms of study management. Although we do not consider those habits as gold-standard, they however correspond to practices that allow us to efficiently carry out several studies in parallel within our research team at the Spatial Epidemiology Lab (SpELL, https://spell.ulb.be/). Although it is thus important to insist on the fact that they only represent one example of research study management, the objective of this seminar will be to present these practices that could be of potential interest for some of the PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. The seminar will be organised to follow the workflow steps of a particular study such as its design and the definition of the research question or hypothesis to test, the implementation of analytical pipeline, the writing process, the submission process and publication strategy, and the communication around the study once it is published.

Les DataPapers : une voie supplémentaire de publication
« Un data paper (ou data article) est une publication scientifique dont le but principal est de décrire un ou plusieurs jeux de données, plutôt que des résultats d'analyse. Ils sont parfois regroupés dans les data journals, sont citables au même titre que les publications classiques, et permettent d’augmenter la visibilité des données de la recherche. »
