ChatGPT most often cites sources from sites like Reddit or Quora. These can be helpful for a quick overview, but they also highlight a clear limitation: AI has very restricted access to academic databases, which are essential when writing a thesis or dissertation.

Today, we celebrate the achievements of women who have shaped our world through their contributions to academia. Despite historical challenges, their work paved the way for innovation and progress.

But what if there were a way to use AI for your thesis/dissertation without crossing ethical boundaries?

The methodology is one of the pillars of research. It develops in detail the structural design of your study and enables others to replicate and expand this research elsewhere.

The most monotonous academic task is probably reference management, and the fact that it takes so much time can be incredibly demotivating. This blog revisits the use of Zotero (and its combination with MS Word) to make referencing easier.

Nobody wants to desperately google citations or scroll through their history to find specific articles they read months ago, just because they made the wrong decision not to save that link or PDF file.

One of the most important pillars of your thesis or dissertation is the relationship with your supervisor. They are the ones who will be involved in the evaluation process. It is therefore essential to understand <u>what they expect from you and how involved they will be in your thesis</u>.

One of the most intimidating tasks for students starting their thesis/dissertation is the literature review. It involves researching and analyzing the entire structure that underpins your work. Why are you addressing this topic? Why is it relevant? Have these questions already been answered? Yet, it is one of the most essential parts of your thesis/dissertation.

In the digital and AI era of 2024, efficiently managing your sources and building a bibliography is essential for any student starting a bachelor’s or master’s thesis. In this blog, we compare three popular reference management options: Microsoft Word Source Manager, Mendeley Cite, and the use of Claude AI combined with Google Scholar references.

It is often the first time a student has to choose a research question (and the corresponding design) themselves to write their thesis or master’s dissertation. That’s why this blog aims to help you determine which design best fits your thesis.

In reality, it is recommended to spend 80% of your time on choosing your research design as well as how to collect and analyze your data. The remaining 20% can be used to write the literature review and maintain communication with your supervisor. This will also ensure that you start with the hardest part of your bachelor’s or master’s thesis.
