India has quickly established itself as a global leader in research, now ranking third worldwide in the number of research publications. Amid the country’s growing focus on science and innovation, we’re also seeing a marked increase in adoption of AI tools in research and education. This affinity to new cutting-edge solutions is backed by a recent study that showed nearly 62% of educators in India are already using AI tools for teaching and student management.
The integration of advanced AI technologies has helped enhance efficiency and productivity, allowing academics to produce high-quality outputs faster. Yet, there are some hurdles in incorporating AI into research workflows. In this case study, we look at how Editage All Access addresses these key challenges and streamlines research processes for academics at some of India’s top educational and research institutions. With over 1.5 million users across top AI tools included in this unique subscription, All Access is helping academics save time, improve productivity, and increase impact.
Working with AI: Challenges for Students and Researchers in India
Despite the significant strides made, students and researchers in India face a unique set of challenges when it comes to implementing AI ethically into their work.
- Trusted tools for academics: Navigating multiple tools and subscriptions while adhering to ethical standards can result in fragmented workflows, wasted time and effort, and unintended misconduct.
- Making the right choice: The large number of AI tools makes it difficult to select the right ones, often leading to the use of generic tools that fail to support their research objectives.
- Low funding restricts access: Many Indian academic institutions struggle with lack of funds, which limits access to premium tools, forcing academics to rely on free, sub-par AI solutions.
These barriers not only slow down research but also undermine the potential impact of academic work. Here, the All Access subscription comes in as the perfect solution for academics in India.
