๐Ÿค” This week in , we try to answer a burning question: Is it plagiarism if I use AI to write my paper?

๐Ÿง  This is a complicated question! The simple definition of plagiarism involves stealing or copying someone else's work and passing it off as your own.

๐Ÿคจ Based on this definition alone, getting AI to write a paper for you isn't technically stealing or copying, right? However! It would still be considered unethical, or as even a type of plagiarism, by many in the academic world.

๐Ÿ“š Why? This is because you are undermining academic integrity. While an AI tool is not an individual, you would still be taking credit for work that isn't your own.

๐Ÿ’ก If the words, ideas, and concepts in your paper are generated by another; whether another scholar or an AI tool, you would be misrepresenting the true nature of your work, labour, and research.

๐Ÿšฆ This being said, getting an AI tool to re-organise or edit your own words may be considered acceptable depending on your context. Remember to check in with publications, journals, your supervisor, professor, or university about their policy for AI in writing.

๐Ÿ‘ Today, some plagiarism detection softwares like Turnitin have also developed features to detect AI-writing. As technology changes, so do definitions of academic integrity and plagiarism!

Remember to use AI wisely and follow us for more on how to .

๐Ÿ” Explore How Social Media Shapes Preventive Practices During Epidemics ๐Ÿฆ 

๐Ÿ˜ท This study looks at how COVID-19 content on social media influences the adoption of preventive measures. Based in South Korea, the study uses a communication mediation framework to understand the mechanisms behind this influence.

๐Ÿค” This week in , we answer the question, what is a bibliographic analysis approach?

๐Ÿ“Š A bibliographic analysis involves a systematic evaluation of citations, references, and sources within academic works to reveal patterns of publication, collaboration, and influence.

๐Ÿ’ก It provides insights into the development of knowledge and relationships within a specific field of study, and it is an essential tool to map the intellectual structure of a specific field of research.

๐Ÿ“š Want to know more? JOCC recently published a Bibliometric Review of Research on Misinformation.

โœ… The research uses reflective analysis to identify the existing communication patterns that led to misinformation in recent times, including the pandemic.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Here's how they did it: The researchers, Dr. Munmun Ghosh and Swetabh Pandey looked at 1,363 papers from the SCOPUS database published between January 2008 to June 2022, and analysed it in VOS viewer.

๐Ÿ‘ What did they find? The analysis revealed 10 clusters derived from the keywords, which came under 4 broad themes.

๐Ÿ™Œ The researchers suggest scientific solutions to counter misinformation. Click the link below to know more about their recommendations and conclusions!
