Clarivate Studies How Students Use AI in ProQuest Research Assistant
ProQuest, part of Clarivate, published a blog post discussing a new report on how students use document-centered AI. It states:Much of the public conversation about AI in education centers on the risk that students will use it to avoid reading, outsource thinking or produce work detached from sources. Those concerns point to a related question: what changes when AI is designed to operate within scholarly content rather than around it? A new report from Clarivate, How students are using Chat with the document, examines that question through observed student behavior in ProQuest Research Assistant. More than 470,000 unique users have used the Research Assistant feature on the ProQuest document page, generating nearly 2 million document level interactions. This scale allows for a meaningful examination of how AI affects student engagement with scholarly content. Further, the Chat With the Document feature has been available for more than six months, providing usage patterns and user feedback that reveal how students are interacting with AI. For more information, read the blog post.
