📝 ChatGPT's academic writing takeover

Our Report: A new study reveals that at least 10% of recent biomedical research abstracts show signs of AI assistance, highlighting the significant impact of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT on academic writing.

🔑 Key Points:

  • Researchers analyzed over 14M PubMed abstracts from 2010 to 2024, focusing on changes in writing style and vocabulary.

  • Results showed a substantial rise in "excess words" in 2024, coinciding with ChatGPT's widespread availability, surpassing vocabulary changes observed during the pandemic.

  • LLM usage estimates varied across disciplines, with 20% in computation, 6% in Nature/Science/Cell, and up to 35% for computation papers from China.

🤔 Why you should care: AI is transforming academic writing, challenging our traditional notions of research authenticity and authorship. As AI writing tools become more prevalent in academia, researchers, institutions, and publishers must consider the implications for originality, authorship, and the peer review process.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
