Summary of Penulisan Artikel Ilmiah Jurnal Terindeks SCOPUS Dengan Bantuan AI (January 10, 2025)
Main Ideas and Concepts
1. Introduction and Context
- The session is part of a monthly writing camp organized by Graduate Research Academy (GRA), aimed at helping researchers write scientific articles indexed in Scopus using AI tools.
- This particular session is open and free to the public, unlike usual member-only sessions.
- The speaker emphasizes the importance of punctuality despite cultural norms of flexible timing in Indonesia.
2. Graduate Research Academy (GRA) Overview
- GRA is a research learning community focused on using AI for research and writing.
- Offers public and paid memberships with access to AI tools, coaching, forums, exclusive webinars, offline training, and shared/exclusive AI accounts.
- Membership benefits include access to GPT Teams, custom GPT prompts, and research support tools.
- Institutional partnerships are available to boost university publication productivity by helping draft and submit articles.
3. Role of Scientific Publication
- Publishing is essential for scientific recognition (“publish or perish”).
- Every article must demonstrate a clear scientific contribution.
- Journals serve as mediums to document new knowledge.
- Despite imperfections in journal metrics, publishing in reputable journals remains the standard measure of researcher productivity.
4. Research Process and AI Integration
- Research involves identifying problems, reviewing literature, generating hypotheses, designing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and publishing results.
- AI can assist significantly in these stages, reducing tedious tasks.
- Ethical and responsible use of AI is stressed; AI outputs must be verified by researchers.
- AI is considered obligatory for academics due to its efficiency and capabilities.
5. Understanding AI and Machine Learning
- AI mimics human intelligence by learning from large datasets (e.g., image recognition).
- AI tools like GPT process human text to generate responses.
- AI cannot be fully trusted without validation due to potential misinformation or hallucinations.
- Ethical guidelines and legal frameworks support AI use in Indonesian academia.
6. Challenges with AI in Research Writing
- Common issues with AI-generated content:
- Shallow analysis
- Lack of authoritative references
- Surface-level knowledge
- These can be overcome with proper prompting strategies and AI frameworks like Real Augmented Generation (RAG) that integrate reliable literature sources.
7. Prompting Methodology and Techniques
- Effective AI use requires strategic prompting, not just copy-pasting commands.
- Complex tasks must be broken down into smaller commands (like budgeting a project).
- Prompts should be:
- Clear and specific
- Contextually relevant
- Detailed enough to avoid hallucinations
- AI forgets prior commands unless context is included in each prompt.
- Example prompting workflow:
- Ask AI to read and summarize attached manuscripts.
- Request rewriting or editing based on AI’s understanding.
- Use iterative prompting to refine drafts (introduction, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion).
- Use of “canvas” feature allows interactive editing and collaboration with AI.
8. AI Tools and Features Demonstrated
- Custom GPT prompts (e.g., Makeover Plus) for drafting and updating manuscripts.
- Integration with Scopus database for literature search and citation management.
- Use of GPT Teams for enhanced capacity and privacy.
- Project feature in GPT for managing literature reviews and large datasets.
- AI-assisted drafting of research proposals, chapters, and responses to reviewers.
- Tools to detect and manage AI-generated content to avoid plagiarism issues.
9. Practical Examples and Demonstrations
- Live demo revising a draft manuscript using AI.
- Editing and restructuring sections using AI canvas.
- Generating research topics and proposals with novelty justification.
- Answering reviewer comments and preparing submission materials quickly (within hours).
- Use of AI for data visualization and graphical abstracts.
- Managing AI content detection to ensure human-like writing.
10. Ethical and Legal Considerations
- AI use is permitted and encouraged but must be declared transparently in publications.
- Verification of AI-generated content is mandatory to maintain integrity.
- AI should be used responsibly, especially in fields where the researcher lacks expertise.
- AI is a tool to augment, not replace, human researchers.
11. Membership and Access Details
- Membership options range from general to exclusive with varying fees.
- Access to recorded sessions and materials is provided to members.
- Personal coaching and institutional partnerships available.
- WhatsApp channel used for community updates and sharing.
12. Future Plans and Sessions
- Upcoming sessions will cover:
- Writing from scratch using AI.
- Advanced prompting techniques.
- Literature review and systematic review writing.
- Use of AI for thesis writing and book chapters.
- Continuous development of AI agent prototypes to automate research workflows.
Detailed Methodology / Instructions for Using AI in Scientific Writing
-
Preparation
- Gather existing manuscript or research notes.
- Collect relevant literature from databases like Scopus.
- Convert literature abstracts into plain text for AI input.
-
Feeding AI
- Attach manuscript or literature collection to AI prompt.
- Ask AI to read and summarize key sections (background, problem, hypothesis, methods).
-
Prompting for Drafting
- Request AI to rewrite or draft sections based on summaries.
- Use detailed, clear prompts specifying style (e.g., scientific writing, paragraph format).
- Include instructions to cite references properly.
-
Iterative Editing
- Use AI canvas for on-the-spot editing and collaboration.
- Make micro-edits directly on AI-generated text.
- Ask AI to shorten, expand, or restructure paragraphs as needed.
-
Managing References and Citations
- Provide AI with a list of references to be cited.
- Instruct AI to maintain citation integrity and add missing citations.
-
Validation and Verification
- Check AI-generated content for accuracy.
- Verify references and data interpretations.
- Declare AI use transparently in manuscripts.
-
Handling Reviewer Comments
- Use AI to draft responses to reviewer feedback.
- Revise manuscript sections accordingly.
-
Submission Preparation
- Generate cover letters, abstracts, graphical abstracts with AI assistance.
- Ensure compliance with journal guidelines.
