AI in Research: How to Use ChatGPT and AI Tools Ethically
What journals and universities allow, what they don't, and how to disclose AI use in your manuscript.
Acceptable uses
Most publishers allow AI for language polishing, brainstorming and code assistance — with disclosure.
- Grammar and readability improvement
- Literature discovery (verify every source)
- Summarising your own notes
What to avoid
AI cannot be listed as an author, and fabricated references or data are serious misconduct. Always verify citations manually.
