Paperpal’s Recommendations to Use AI Writing Assistants Responsibly

Check university and journal policy guidelines on AI tools and disclose AI use. See where you can use AI (edit, write, figures…) and for what (original paper vs peer review). Most academic publishers agree that AI software cannot be listed as an author. Look for disclosure guidelines and templates!
Don’t use AI as a replacement for critical-thinking tasks, this includes identifying research gap, generating hypothesis, etc.
Use AI to enhance your process of doing research. Use AI to find relevant literature, summarize articles, extract themes, but always scan through and read the full text. Don’t blindly add citations!
Act as the expert and use AI to make your writing more productive. Use AI writing assistants to enhance creativity, ideate, solve for writer’s block, refine and polish your writing, conduct a self-reviews, catch oversights, and simplify tedious/repetitive tasks.
Use reliable software to check for inadvertent plagiarism. When using AI-generated text, even after you refine the writing, it is critical to use trusted plagiarism check before final submission.
6. Don’t get alarmed with AI detection. AI content detection software have not yet reached the stage where they can accurately detect AI-generated text. So if your work if flagged, talk to your supervisor or editor and show evidence of your writing history to ensure academic integrity.
Finally, don’t let any misgivings about AI tools make you lose out on their many advantages. If used correctly and responsibly, AI writing tools can save you hours of time, making your writing process more efficient while ensuring you consistently produce high-quality academic content.
