Use of Artificial Intelligence

The marketing department generally supports the transparent use of various AI tools because of the productivity and creativity gains they provide.

AI tools can be applied in a variety of ways. Here are a few examples:

Field of use Description Examples of tools
Brainstorming Ideas for examples, introduction, headings, study design, implications, further research Perplexity, You, Writsonic, Flow GPT, ChatGPT, Bing
Research References to relevant data and facts, recommended sources Connected papers, Elicit, Explain papers, Research rabbit
Tabele of contents Develop a basic structure for a seminar paper ChatGPT, Writesonic
Text creation Formulations, Spell check ChatGPT, DeepL Write, Grammarly
Translations Translation of literature, translation of qualitative data DeepL

In the interest of transparency, if artificial intelligence is used, a table should be provided in the appendix explaining the exact use and prompts. If the tool used offers the option of generating a link for tracking, this should also be provided. This is the case with ChatGPT, for example.


An example table can be found here:

Tool Description of use If applicable URL
ChatGPT Help with structuring the table of contents ChatGPT-Link
ChatGPT How to use AI correctly in scientific work? ChatGPT-Link
Deepl Translation of Abstracts  

Even if you have not used an AI tool, you should mention it in the appendix. In this case, it is sufficient to include the following sentence: "I did not use any AI tools to create this scientific paper."

Various Artificial Intelligences can provide false information about research topics or create their own sources, so the output should always be checked. In addition, biased content (e.g. discriminatory content) is sometimes produced, so the output should be viewed critically. In general, AI output is often a good starting point, but it needs to be critically reviewed and adapted.
