Abstract
There is a growing recognition that scientific articles featuring women and people of color as first and last (senior) author are undercited in the literature relative to male and non-minority race authors. Some limited tools now exist to analyze the diversity of manuscript bibliographies, with acknowledged limitations. Recently the journal editors and publications chair of the Biomedical Engineering Society have recommended that authors include an optional "Citation Diversity Statement" in their articles, however adoption of this practice has, to date, been slow. Inspired by the current excitement and enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) large language model chatbots, I sought to determine whether Google's new Bard chatbot could be used to assist authors in this process. It was determined that the Bard technology is not yet up to this task, however, by showing some modest improvement in the fidelity of references, combined with the not-yet realized live search capabilities, the author is nevertheless optimistic that this technology can one day be utilized for this purpose as it continues to improve.
期刊介绍：
The field of cellular and molecular bioengineering seeks to understand, so that we may ultimately control, the mechanical, chemical, and electrical processes of the cell. A key challenge in improving human health is to understand how cellular behavior arises from molecular-level interactions. CMBE, an official journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society, publishes original research and review papers in the following seven general areas:
Molecular: DNA-protein/RNA-protein interactions, protein folding and function, protein-protein and receptor-ligand interactions, lipids, polysaccharides, molecular motors, and the biophysics of macromolecules that function as therapeutics or engineered matrices, for example.
Cellular: Studies of how cells sense physicochemical events surrounding and within cells, and how cells transduce these events into biological responses. Specific cell processes of interest include cell growth, differentiation, migration, signal transduction, protein secretion and transport, gene expression and regulation, and cell-matrix interactions.
Mechanobiology: The mechanical properties of cells and biomolecules, cellular/molecular force generation and adhesion, the response of cells to their mechanical microenvironment, and mechanotransduction in response to various physical forces such as fluid shear stress.
Nanomedicine: The engineering of nanoparticles for advanced drug delivery and molecular imaging applications, with particular focus on the interaction of such particles with living cells. Also, the application of nanostructured materials to control the behavior of cells and biomolecules.
