Is using help of ChatGPT in writing academic article against the plagiarism rules? How is this issue regulated in general?
I think the dawn of ChatGPT poses a mammoth problem in academic writing, already plagued with pervasive plagiarism
The researcher's background must be included.
In this part is where the ethics of the professional comes in, that he and only he is the one who must write and elaborate his work.
Some publishers say that chatbot use should be documented in the methods or acknowledgements sections — and that not doing so could be considered plagiarism...

With my limited knowledge on AI, this is what I feel as a researcher. ChatGPT and its successor is going to create a tectonic shift in the field of academic writing including scientific writing which may gives rise to multiple possible scenarios. This is going to create a possible situation where journals have to decide whether they are going to accept AI assisted work or only fully human written articles.
It might also give rise to a race between the AI companies developing plagiarism detection tools and the ones developing ChatGPT like tools. We can see the development of more robust plagiarism detection tool which uses AI to detect AI written articles. On the other hand, newer versions of ChatGPT and similar and more robust AI models can possibly beat any plagiarism detection tool currently available. Basically, the plagiarism detection tool companies would have to play the catch up game every time a more capable version ChatGPT emerges.
Ultimately, we might move towards a point of time when AI assisted articles might be recognized legitimate if properly cited, and newer rules by journals, universities and regulators would emerge to address this issue. I think there would be a time when International co-operation among different countries would be required to address this issue and promote ethical use of AI for academic and scientific writing.
Nature Briefing readers asked you whether researchers should be allowed to use generative AIs like ChatGPT to help them write academic papers, and almost 58% of the more than 3,600 Briefing readers who responded to their poll said no...

I thank Dr @Ljubomir for the statistics. It is interesting to me so many said it was acceptable! Is it, as you suggested, a sign of a changing trend?
The rapid advancement of AI technology has made text generation tools like GPT-3 and ChatGPT increasingly accessible, scalable, and effective. This can pose serious threat to the credibility of various forms of media if these technologies are used for plagiarism, including scientific literature and news sources. Despite the development of automated methods for paraphrase identification, detecting this type of plagiarism remains a challenge due to the disparate nature of the datasets on which these methods are trained. In this study, we review traditional and current approaches to paraphrase identification and propose a refined typology of paraphrases. We also investigate how this typology is represented in popular datasets and how under-representation of certain types of paraphrases impacts detection capabilities. Finally, we outline new directions for future research and datasets in the pursuit of more effective paraphrase detection using AI...

ChatGPT in Academic Writing and Publishing: A Comprehensive Guide
Scientific writing is a difficult task that requires clarity, precision, and rigour. It also involves a large amount of research, analysis, and synthesis of information from various sources. However, scientific writing is also hard, time-consuming, and susceptible to errors. Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models, such as ChatGPT, can simplify academic writing and publishing. ChatGPT has many applications and uses in academic and scientific writing and publishing such as hypothesis generation, literature review, safety recommendations, troubleshooting, tips, paraphrasing and summarising, editing, and proofreading, journal selection, journal style formatting, and other applications.
In this book chapter, we will discuss the main advantages, examples, and applications of ChatGPT in academic and scientific writing from research conception to publishing.
