Video: ChatGPT Prompts: What Works for Research Paper Preparation

Prompting a generative AI tool in the right way is a skill that should be honed. It is more than asking a simple question—it’s about knowing how to get useful responses through the right prompts.

In this video, Dr. Snezana Levic explains how good prompts differ from bad prompts and why the way you communicate with AI can significantly affect the quality of the output. Vague prompts like “Tell me about heart problems” typically produce broad, unfocused responses. Academic research warrants specificity. Prompts with clear context, scope, and purpose can generate much more relevant information.

You’ll also learn which factors can help researchers obtain focused responses. For instance, mentioning factors like the population, country, timeframe, or research context can make prompts more effective. Watch the video to get examples of good prompts and bad prompts. It’s time to treat prompting as a communication skill, not simply a keyword search!
