How can I use ChatGPT for my term paper or bachelor thesis?

You can use ChatGPT to assist in the writing process for your research paper, thesis, or dissertation in the following ways:

  • Developing a research question
  • Creating an outline
  • Generating literature ideas
  • Paraphrasing text
  • Getting feedback

Frequently asked questions: AI tools

Can I have ChatGPT write my paper?

No—first, because it’s considered plagiarism to represent someone else’s work as your own (even if that “someone” is an AI language model). Even if you cite ChatGPT, you’ll likely still be penalized.

Second, ChatGPT can recombine existing texts, but it cannot really generate new knowledge. And it lacks specialist knowledge of academic topics. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain original research results, and the text produced is likely to contain factual errors.

However, you can usually still use ChatGPT for assignments in other ways, as a source of inspiration and feedback.

Can I create citations using ChatGPT?

No, it is not possible to cite your sources with ChatGPT. You can ask it to create citations, but it isn’t designed for this task and tends to make up sources that don’t exist or present information in the wrong format. ChatGPT also cannot add citations to direct quotes in your text.

Instead, use a tool designed for this purpose, like the Scribbr Citation Generator.

But you can use ChatGPT for assignments in other ways, to provide inspiration, feedback, and general writing advice.
