Survey of US Higher Education Faculty 2024, Finding, Sourcing, Citing & Summarizing with AI


Overall Usage: A small percentage (5.92%) of the entire sample reported using AI applications to seek recommendations on which journals to submit their ideas, articles, or other content. A significant majority (75.93%) have not used AI for this purpose and 18.15% did not answer the question.


This comprehensive study looks at who, how, and how often  higher education faculty are using artificial intelligence applications to search for, cite and summarize information.  The study provides highly distinct data sets for each of these purposes, and focuses on the precise use of specific applications, with separate data for use of ChatGPT, Bard, Bing and other applications.  The study enables its readers to find out exactly how higher education faculty are using AI and what their experience has been.  For librarians focusing on information literacy and search strategy, it provides a highly detailed map of faculty experience with AI as a supplement to, or even a replacement of, traditional search engines and library search interfaces.   This detailed report enables its readers to find out exactly how AI is beginning to reshape information and scholarly searching.
