From Grammarly To Gpt: Exploring The Use Of Ai-assisted Academic Writing Tools Among Doctoral Researchers
Authors : Abbas Chahrazed . Teyebi Souleyman .
Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into academic writing has sparked increasing debate, particularly regarding its legitimacy and ethical implications. Among doctoral students, the growing reliance on AI tools such as Grammarly, QuillBot, and ChatGPT raises concerns about academic integrity, particularly given the limited awareness of ethical guidelines surrounding their use. This study examines the perceptions of 30 PhD students in English language specializations through a mixed-methods questionnaire comprising both quantitative (dichotomous and Likert-scale) and qualitative (open-ended) items. Findings reveal that while students primarily value AI tools for enhancing writing style, fluency, and overall paper quality, they express a clear need for human oversight and post-editing to ensure accuracy and originality. Participants acknowledge that AI should be viewed as a supportive tool rather than a substitute for critical thinking and academic authorship. The study concludes that, with proper institutional guidance, the thoughtful integration of AI writing tools can promote more refined academic expression and help students develop a more sophisticated and stylistic use of language while maintaining ethical standards.
