Abstract

The attainment of academic superiority relies heavily upon the accessibility of scholarly resources and the expression of research findings through faultless language usage. Although modern tools, such as the Publish or Perish software program, are proficient in sourcing academic papers based on specific keywords, they often fall short of extracting comprehensive content, including crucial references. The challenge of linguistic precision remains a prominent issue, particularly for research papers composed by non-native English speakers who may encounter word usage errors. This manuscript serves a twofold purpose: firstly, it reassesses the effectiveness of ChatGPT-4 in the context of retrieving pertinent references tailored to specific research topics. Secondly, it introduces a suite of language editing services that are skilled in rectifying word usage errors, ensuring the refined presentation of research outcomes. The article also provides practical guidelines for formulating precise queries to mitigate the risks of erroneous language usage and the inclusion of spurious references. In the ever-evolving realm of academic discourse, leveraging the potential of advanced AI, such as ChatGPT-4, can significantly enhance the quality and impact of scientific publications.
