Vibe Researching in Academia

Researchers are already using reasoning LLMs to draft, iterate and sometimes publish full papers in hours — a practice being called 'vibe researching.' That workflow compresses the traditional research lifecycle (idea, literature, methods, writeup, revision) into prompt‑driven cycles and changes authorship, peer review, and replication incentives. — If adopted at scale, 'vibe researching' will force new rules on authorship disclosure, peer‑review standards, reproducibility checks, and the credibility criteria for academic publication and policy advice.
