ChatGPT for Scientific Research: How to use AI as a Partner in Your Research

[@bien_venu]

Thank you immensely for creating this insightful video! 🙏 For my fellow learners from the AICE Programme at ALX, I wish you all the best and encourage you to keep pushing forward! 💪

[@RoadTo19]

TIP: Start the message with "Acting as:Research scientist, ". The response provided will be the perspective of a research scientist. Same would happen if used "Acting as:8th grader..."

[@SciGradCoach]

Great tip! :)

[@My_Rig_Parking]

Very helpful. I would save at least six months for my doctorate degree if I had known it earlier. Please be cautious that the tool gives you some random made-up literature, and those generated answers sound plausible but make no sense. So always double-check the references.

[@rachelscott9805]

I've been a long-time casual viewer of your videos and I just wanted to say how much I love your videos and the way you explain things. Thank you forever!

[@SciGradCoach]

Wow! Thank you! I am so glad my videos have helped you! :)

[@S317537]

I've used ChatGPT for coding using stata and I finding that the code was not working most of the time. Then I told it the version of state and it was then giving me better code which was helpful as I am learning how to analyze my data. Thank you for your videos!

[@koenvanwijk2605]

I stumbled upon this channel by looking up something discussed in discord. Really good stuff ;) Thanks a lot. I'm going to try this out for myself as well.

[@SciGradCoach]

Welcome aboard! I am so glad it is helpful!

[@timtillack]

Great video. I'm about to wrap up my Master of Information Studies and have been playing around with ChatGPT which has helped inform my final assignment. When asking questions, I've also been asking ChatGPT to provide in-text citations and list of references. Unfortunately, I've not been able to successfully cross-reference any of the references. In most cases the articles don't even exist haha. Cool tool. It'll be interesting to see how the use cases and application of the technology evolve for research and academic writing

[@Iiiiiiiiaaaaaaa270]

Try authors

[@timtillack]

@@Iiiiiiiiaaaaaaa270 ChatGPT has been providing APA7 references but they have not been accurate. So, naturally, I've tried authors

[@chrismachabee3128]

I see the issue as attribution. It's good up to 2021.

[@EscarHolmez]

I had a similar experience. I asked: "How does the complexity of decoding increase as a function of the number of qubits? Include a reference." The response included this promising reference: "Duclos-Cianci, G., & Poulin, D. (2019). Linear programming decoding of the surface code. Physical Review Research, 1(1), 013002." Unfortunately, no such article exists! I have tried similar queries with similarly bogus results. I gave feedback to ChatGPT so they can hopefully fix this in the future. Without legitimate references, ChatGPT is of limited use for scientific work.

[@houmanjafari2963]

Hi there, I'm also working on my master's thesis as an Information studies student. What's your research interest?

[@fernandochinas-castillo7735]

hi i enjoyed some of your videos of chatgpt, sci space and digest papers. Although there are some videos over the internet, your research approach is more like what i need since i am also a researcher. Keep it up!

[@SciGradCoach]

Glad you like them!

[@安平吴]

The perfect introduction for the Chatgpt, thanks!

[@mysterycurry]

I just submitted a WRONG DRAFT of an ai generated outline I was using for some research and got an email from my professor saying it’s possible academic integrity violation. I’m ugly crying because I pour my heart and time into learning psychology and I’m in tears. It’s the first time I used it too. And my dumbass submitted the wrong file and now I have no fucking clue what will happen. I’m trying to make a KZbin channel based on psychology topics too and I was going to make a “The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories” mega video using my work. The fact that I used ai to help me in the structural process now is getting me in trouble is something so fucking uneasy. I don’t know what to fucking do. The whole fabric of my existence is being a good student. A scholar. I was like this since childhood and vowed to make my parents proud

[@Nitrodolski]

And what happened?

[@backyardfarming3047]

Don't be discouraged

[@mysterycurry]

@@Nitrodolski I got written up to the Academic Conduct board and put on a warning. The motherfuckers dont play. But its so so fucked up. i deadass have to dumb down my essays, intentionally add typos, and use incorrect spellings or versions of words to make it seem more human. crazy world we live in today

[@rafaella9700]

What an amaznig tool, I asked to give me some research question on my topic and I was really validated seeing that it actuali asked the reasearch question I spended hours to come up with.

[@SciGradCoach]

Yay! I am so glad it helped! The work you put into coming up with your research question will allow you to complete the research more easily! The only issue with using ChatGPT for research question is that it doesn't always come up with novel or specific enought questions. So happy for you on your research journey!

[@serenditymuse]

It is a fantastic software tool far more flexible than any I have seen,, created or worked with in my 40 year career.

[@SciGradCoach]

Yes! It is exciting to see just how much it has improved since it went live a few months ago as well! :)

[@mfo06]

Is it ethical to use ChatGPT only for language editing? i.e., checking grammar or paraphase a sentence etc.

[@gunngunn6763]

Hi is it ethical to use the contents provided by ChatGpt 3 for scientific writing?

[@SciGradCoach]

I think it is ethical to use ChatGPTs responses as a starting point. Honestly, if you want to write great research articles, I don't think you can rely on ChatGPT alone. It won't have the understanding for your research and data as you do and ultimately when you grow your writing skills you would be able to write your articles faster than using ChatGPT, but it can be a helpful partner in the process! :)

[@bolajiadedasola6369]

This is nice and provides good overview of ChatGPT. However, ChatGPT actually summarizes research articles and very proficient for literature review with intext citations and references included. All you need to do is to use the right keywords.

[@Slash5469]

Can you elaborate on the use for literature review ?

[@SciGradCoach]

Interesting... I wonder if this is an update to it since I filmed. when i asked it simply told me it couldnt because it didnt have access to anything after 2021.

[@timtillack]

This is true. Unfortunately, though, it seems to be making up the references arbitrarily. I'm studing information studies, so know my way around databases and search strategies, but have had a poor hit rate in the finding the articles it lists. Even going to the journal site and looking for the Vol and Issue No has been unsuccessful.

[@shaman_ns]

Hi! Good stuff. How do you deal with citations? It is capable of providing some references, but not cite them

[@Robin-hp8pu]

it makes up references only. "As an AI language model, I do not have direct access to the internet or any external content. However, I was trained on a large dataset of text from the internet, so I have learned to generate responses based on patterns and relationships in that text."

[@ndzimu-unamiemmanuelmoyo2028]

At about 4:08 you said you'd recommend downloading what? 🤔🤔

[@JrubenM]

thanks for share this video; im researcher here in Mexico and I try to use that new tools; hope you can saher new videos about chat gpt

@@SciGradCoach great. Waiting for this

[@waqasahmad1165]

You are safe and sound dr.is this software is genvien for writing research articles

[@jasonpearson1555]

Is it possible to upload a bibliography of journal articles to a google drive for instance and then have chat gpt reference that data to generate its replies?

[@SciGradCoach]

ChatGPT does not have the ability to pull information from webpages or drive. It will likely just make up information based off of your prompt. Therefore, I would instead suggest that you use Elicit or SciSpace Co-Pilot instead.

[@bhaskartripathi]

[@funkyblaze]

But can it do appa style when writing a text full of information..???

[@funkyblaze]

I mean with resources to be clear

[@SciGradCoach]

I don't believe so, but I would never just use ChatGPT writings for your writings. I would only use it to get started or enhance your writing. You need to double check everything it is saying with valid sources. I would use a software like Zotero to do APA citations. kzbin.info/aero/PL_ctsbuZQZezmJ8W7xANA_eVbu-GlNYnL

[@dipset4016]

It seems like ChatGPT gave you basic information you should have learned in a Research Methods course.

[@VeniVinnieVici]

Try it out for more difficult questions. It will blow your mind what answers it will give if you give it the right questions.

It can provide citations and references but it is a little bit tricky

[@nimazaxo325]

All the references it gives are not real🤔

[@amarmahgoub9544]

@@nimazaxo325 I double checked a bunch of provided citations and references provided by the bot, and sometimes it hits perfectly. The problem lies within the changing of urls since the gpt3.5 (and even gpt4) model is trained on data retrieved before Sep 2021. Right now, I found a way through using a chrome extension (Web ChatGPT) that feeds the gpt3.5 (and even gpt4) bot with website data searched from Google. This worth giving a shot!

[@unagisama5476]

True answer: Don't use it for research. ALL the citations are invalid. It's a gimmick for general information generation. It's just like citing Google search/ Wiki and not actual scientific papers. I'd ONLY use it for aiding writing skills.

[@振波陈]

谢谢😊

[@feynman_QED]

A small question. If a researcher needs chat gpt to find a hypothesis, doesn't that show how poor her/his comprehension of the field where s/he works? That's a little bit weird.

[@SciGradCoach]

Researchers are in all stages of their career and everyone runs out of creativity every now and then. Using a tool to help learn a concept is not a bad thing. Yes, a seasoned researcher will not need ChatGPT, but someone starting in a field could easily use these features as a way to get started on their project!

[@sammieboy1996]

For me, ChatGPT doesn't actually give academic sources that exist.. Any solution for this?

[@leehompark4968]

I have experience the same thing. It references 3 articles which it mentions are good starting points, but the articles do not exist at all when you try to search for the title or author.

[@learnwithmaheen6446]
