  • Using GenAI in research writing: Promises, pitfalls and possibilities

    Using GenAI in research writing: Promises, pitfalls and possibilities
    Feb 10 2026
    We're excited to explore a topic that’s been making waves in many sectors, and certainly in the University sector: using Generative AI. Today’s episode is a panel discussion about using GenAI in research writing – the promises, pitfalls and opportunities. This discussion, held at RMIT’s Kaleide Theatre, was the opening event for Research Writing Month in 2025 – a series of events run by research academic skills advisors from RMIT University Library in collaboration with RMIT’s School of Graduate Research. Barbara Yazbeck, a research Academic Skills Advisor at RMIT University Library, is joined by Dr David Blades, Senior Coordinator of Research, Integrity and Governance at RMIT, Professor Robyn Barnacle, Academic Lead, Research Training and Supervisor Development, School of Graduate Research, and Associate Professor Stephen Gaunson, Director of Higher Degree by Research with RMIT’s College of Design and Social Context. Together they discuss the ways GenAI might be useful in research writing, and where it could instead be unhelpful or even concerning.
