Online lecture “Artificial intelligence in scientific work: practical possibilities and ethical limits”

The KPI Library invites graduate students and all interested researchers at Igor Sikorsky KPI to join the online lecture “Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Work: Practical Possibilities and Ethical Limits,” which will be held as part of the open lecture series “Academic Integrity: Rules of the Game or a Matter of Honor.”

In modern scientific practice, artificial intelligence tools are increasingly used to search for scientific literature, analyze information, prepare texts, and present research results. At the same time, their incorrect or uncritical use can pose serious risks to the academic integrity and scientific reputation of young researchers.

Key aspects:

• Responsible and effective use of artificial intelligence tools in scientific work.
• Correct declaration of AI use in accordance with the requirements of scientific journals and publishers.
• Use of AI assistants for working with scientific literature, critical assessment of their capabilities and limitations.
• The problem of AI hallucinations and the author’s responsibility for the accuracy and veracity of results.

Speaker: Serhii Nazarovets, PhD in Social Communications, Senior Researcher at the Library of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University.

The KPI Library invites postgraduate students of Igor Sikorsky KPI and all interested researchers to join the fourth online lecture, “Accessibility of Research Data,” which will be held as part of the course “Must-haves for Research Activities.”

The lecture is dedicated to one of the key requirements of modern scientific publication — the accessibility of research data, which can be a powerful tool to help increase citations and make your contribution to science truly noticeable.

Key aspects:

• What are the FAIR principles and why is accessibility at the heart of this approach?
• What characteristics should your data have to make it easy to find and use?
• How do journal data policies affect the publication process?
• Why data access statement templates are needed and how to write them correctly.
• How data citations affect your scientific career.

Online lecture “Identifiers as open science infrastructure: ORCID, DOI, ROR, and others”

The KPI Library invites postgraduate students of Igor Sikorsky KPI and all interested researchers to join the third online lecture “Identifiers as Open Science Infrastructure: ORCID, DOI, ROR, and Others,” which will be held as part of the course “Must-haves for Research Activities.”

Identifiers are the technical foundation of open science because they link scientific data, ensure transparency and reliability of results, and allow publications to be accurately linked to their authors, institutions, and data, increasing the visibility of research results.

Key aspects:

• What are personal identifiers for researchers (ORCID ID, Scopus Author ID, Web of Science ResearcherID, and Google Scholar Profile);
• How identifiers for publications and scientific journals work (DOI, ISBN, and ISSN);
• Identifiers for institutions and data (ROR ID, Dataset DOI, FAIR Data)

Online lecture “Searching for educational and scientific sources using AI technologies”

The KPI Library invites postgraduate students of Igor Sikorsky KPI and all interested researchers to join the second online lecture “Searching for educational and scientific sources using AI technologies,” which will be held as part of the course “Must-haves for research activities.”

The lecture is devoted to the practical mastery of AI tools (using the examples of Elicit, ResearchRabbit, SciSpace, and Semantic Scholar), which are radically changing the approach to searching, analyzing, and systematizing scientific and educational information.

Key aspects:

• The problem of information overload: why traditional search engines can no longer cope with the volume of scientific publications.
• How AI technologies are transforming the process of reviewing literature and searching for sources.
• A comparative analysis of the capabilities of Elicit, ResearchRabbit, SciSpace, and Semantic Scholar for optimizing the research process.

Community library. All-Ukrainian Library Day 2025

This year, the KPI Library building celebrates its 45th anniversary. From the very beginning and to this day, it remains a community library – a place that inspires, supports, and unites.

On September 30, on All-Ukrainian Library Day, we invite colleagues, friends, and the entire KPI community to traditionally meet in our Library:

• 2:00 p.m. – round table discussion “Community Space” (1st floor lobby).
  A unique opportunity to hear firsthand the history of the building’s creation, learn how it came to be and who contributed to making it what we know today.
• 4:30 p.m. – opening of the exhibition “Brick by Brick – The Chronicle of KPI” (Hall 3.5).
  Brick by brick, KPI grew and changed: from 19th-century brick buildings to white brutalist structures of the 1980s. The university campus has preserved entire stages of architectural history within its walls. The exhibition will feature the building materials used to construct the university.

See you at the Library!
