Dear academicians and researchers

We recently wrote a narrative review paper on “ChatGPT and Academic Research: A Review and Recommendations Based on Practical Examples”. Our findings were

  • Initial Idea Generation: ChatGPT is an effective tool for idea generation, brainstorming, and outlining research topics.
  • Introduction: The authors found that ChatGPT can generate an introduction without a formal problem statement and research gap. Besides, the introduction part is entirely hypothetical, without any references.
  • Literature Review: ChatGPT can summarise and compile the literature into a literature review without emphasizing synthesizing and coherence. ChatGPT cannot develop a story based on existing literature. Second, if a researcher instructs ChatGPT to compose a literature review, it generates fictitious and hypothetical in-text citations and references.
  • To read the full paper: https://journals.cspc.edu.ph/index.php/jemds/article/view/175

    We have also proposed some recommendations for academic researchers based on our findings.

    Recommendations are attached here.

    However, what is your own experience regarding this issue?
