Abstract

OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 brought a groundbreaking development to academic writing, as this chatbot has demonstrated its ability to draft “high-quality” papers for submission to academic journals. Despite ongoing efforts to discourage or prohibit the publication of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated papers, ChatGPT’s influences on the scientific writing, reviewing, and editing processes for open-access journals cannot be ignored. This innovation presents a challenge to academic publishing: AI-produced papers can be difficult to differentiate from human-authored work, and tools for detection remain limited. This paper outlines obstacles in academic publishing following ChatGPT’s emergence. The academic community should ponder the implications of AIgenerated papers and explore ways to manage such material in scientific writing and publishing.
