Ethical Use of Generative AI in Research

Clearly disclose when and how generative AI tools were used in your research

Rely solely on AI-generated content without verification

Hide or obscure your use of AI tools in methodologies

Assume AI outputs are free from bias or errors

Properly cite the specific AI tools used

Acknowledge the limitations of AI-generated content

Present AI-generated content as entirely your own work

Use AI to replicate others' research without proper attribution

Critically evaluate AI outputs for potential biases

Accept AI-generated analyses without examining inherent biases

Use AI in ways that amplify existing inequalities

Overlook how training data limitations affect research outcomes

At what point is this no longer truly my research?

How can I ensure my research is original?

What are the limitations of AI tools?

How do I validate AI-generated content?

Their thought processes and critical decision points

The AI tools used in their research

The limitations of AI-generated content

The biases present in AI outputs

Identifying and defining the topic

Conducting a literature search

Reading through the research

Writing the literature review

An introductory paragraph explaining the topic and thesis

A summary of the main points of each source

A critical evaluation of the sources

A conclusion summarizing key findings

Review isn’t logically organized

Review includes too many references

Review is written in the author's own words

Review argues a point

Using another writer’s words without proper citation

Citing a source but reproducing the exact word without quotation marks

Borrowing the structure of another author’s phrases without giving the source

All of the above
