Calling Researchers, Faculty, and Evaluators

The rapid integration of AI tools in academic research has revolutionized literature reviews, writing, data analysis, and citation management. However, concerns about plagiarism, academic integrity, and the ambiguous acceptance of AI-generated content have also emerged.

On one hand: Researchers find AI tools highly useful in enhancing research speed, efficiency, and productivity.

On the other hand: Stakeholders (faculty, journal editors, evaluators) raise concerns about unintentional plagiarism through AI-generated content, rejection of research due to AI involvement, over-reliance on AI compromising originality and critical thinking, misidentification of human-written work as AI-generated etc.

We invite you to participate in this study that aims to assess how researchers, faculty, and evaluators perceive the trade-off between AI benefits and risks in academic research. We are in need of your valuable response, so that we are able to better design our services for you at anusandhan.ai - a platform dedicated to intelligent and smart researchers.

By giving us your valuable 5-7 minutes for this survey, you are entitled to attractive discounts on the services offered at anusandhan.ai as a Silver Member. You are entitled to receive a copy of the Research Report.

Shura, or mutual consultation, occupies a central place in Islamic governance. The Qur’an (42:38) commends believers who manage their affairs “by mutual consultation,” while Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the early caliphs demonstrated its practice in decisions affecting community and state.

However, in many Muslim-majority societies inequality and hierarchy are accepted as natural. In such contexts, dissent is discouraged, and leaders are rarely challenged. This raises the question: can Shura genuinely work in hierarchical societies, or does it risk being reduced to ritualistic legitimacy? In this insightful blog Dr Arif Hassan addresses this question.

How effective is Shura or Consultation in many Muslim-majority societies with authoritarian systems where dissent is discouraged?

New piece in the series Gender Equality, Shariah and the Search for Balance is out!

This time we dig into the Health & Survival indicators. On paper, Islam couldn’t be clearer: protecting life is sacred, safeguarding mothers is a duty, harming women is forbidden. Yet when we look at the data across OIC countries, the story is anything but straightforward.

Some Muslim countries now match the world’s best when it comes to maternal health and life expectancy. Others, heartbreakingly, remain among the worst globally. Practices like child marriage and FGM linger not because of religion but because of poverty, politics, and culture.

The Qur’an and Sunnah point one way, performance on the ground often points another. That tension is where the real questions lie—and where the conversation about gender equality in Muslim societies gets really interesting.

Reviews indicators that measure gender equality in the domain of health and survival and discusses the same for Islamic countries
