Abstract

AbstractThis study explored the potential of ChatGPT in the search for reliable references. Results showed that the reliability of ChatGPT's references vary across different source types. For journal articles, they were all fabricated and not compliant with APA 7 format. Webpages did not match actual existing sites. However, for books, the generated references correctly corresponded to real, existing ones. In the case of journal websites, the links within the responses were functional. Although this exploration gained interesting insights, researchers are strongly recommended not to depend on ChatGPT for references due to accuracy issues and must undertake manual, scholarly searches.Keywords: Artificial intelligenceChatGPTfake referencesinformation accuracylarge language modelsliterature reviewreferencesscholarly research Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ChatGPT参考资料揭晓:区分可靠的和假的

摘要本研究探讨了ChatGPT在寻找可靠参考文献方面的潜力。结果表明，ChatGPT参考文献的可靠性在不同来源类型之间存在差异。对于期刊文章，他们都是捏造的，不符合APA 7格式。网页与实际存在的网站不匹配。然而，对于书籍，生成的参考文献正确地对应于真实存在的参考文献。在期刊网站的案例中，回复中的链接是有效的。尽管这一探索获得了有趣的见解，但由于准确性问题，强烈建议研究人员不要依赖ChatGPT作为参考，而必须进行手动的学术搜索。关键词:人工智能;人工智能;虚假文献;信息准确性;
