Working with AI on your project

From this week on you may let AI tools such as Claude Code do part of the work. Some rules of thumb:

  • You stay the author. Check every number, figure and line of code that ends up in your paper. You must be able to explain your R script line by line.
  • Ask for code, then read it. Let the AI explain each step, and compare the output with what you would expect from the concepts of weeks 2 to 6.
  • Keep it reproducible. One raw data file and one script; the final script must run from top to bottom without the AI.
  • Report it. Add a short AI-use paragraph to your methods: which tool, for which tasks, and how you checked the output.
  • Data protection. Never upload data with personal information to an AI tool.
