Introduction: Embracing Digital Technology in PhD Supervision

The interactions between PhD students and their supervisors, it has become evident that there is a significant gap in the digital technology knowledge of both parties. This knowledge gap hinders progress towards the completion of PhD work, leading to delays and inefficiencies. However, the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have opened up new avenues for research, aiding the preparation of concept notes, bibliographies, questionnaires, and data processing. Despite the potential benefits, many supervisors and students remain skeptical and uninformed about these digital tools due to concerns about misuse, plagiarism, and copyright issues. This article aims to shed light on the importance of supervisors appreciating and understanding digital technology and emphasizes the need for both parties to bridge this knowledge gap to achieve more efficient, faster, and fruitful research.
The knowledge gap in digital technology between supervisors and students can no longer be overlooked. The vast potential offered by AI and other digital tools demands that supervisors enhance their understanding of these resources. By investing in training programs that equip supervisors with sufficient knowledge about digital technology and research methodologies, the entire research process can be streamlined, resulting in reduced timelines for PhD completion. By embracing the digital era, supervisors and students can forge a more fruitful and efficient partnership, ultimately driving innovation and contributing to the advancement of knowledge.
