Speaker 1: The first epic way that you can use ChatGPT is actually to produce scaffolds from the peer-reviewed papers that you are reading. Now each field has got its own kind of different way of talking about research, of presenting research. The differences are subtle but using ChatGPT you can actually create a scaffold specifically for your research field. Let's have a look how it's done. So over here I am using HeyGPT. It's actually my favorite way of interacting with PDF documents. I've got access to the API for GPT-4 so I can use this with that powerful language model in what I think is a nicer interface and you can purchase HeyGPT for a one-time fee and then you have to use your API from OpenAPI as the engine that operates it. All right I hope that makes sense but here you can see this is HeyGPT and all we have to do is go down here and upload our file. So here I am talking with one of my papers. Here it is, I've previously uploaded it but you can see that it takes PDF, doc files, MD files and text files. So I'll just say apply there and then you can say use. You can also chat with websites and ask Google stuff as well which is great. So here I'm chatting with my file and I've already done this before but one of the best ways that I've used this is by saying using the PDF supplied create a general scaffold from the abstract so that another scientist can write their own in any research field. And so here you can see it's done a fantastic job at providing me with a simple layout. So here we've got title of research, authors blah blah blah and then it's got abstract. Inside the abstract we need to have background or objective and it tells me what I need to do for each thing and this really just takes away that guesswork. When you first sit down with a blank document it just gives you a structure but it goes deeper than that and I'm absolutely amazed at what you can actually do and you can tailor it for your specific field. It's amazing. So creating a scaffold is the first important step just to making your peer review writing a breeze. You can actually import more than one file and you can ask for kind of like a summary of the amalgamation of all the different PDF documents but here we're just using one. So you can see that after I've asked it for an outline and a scaffold which it's done a really good job at you can then say provide me with 10 sentence starters for each and all it's done is gone out and provided me with sentence starters. In recent years the field of blah has garnered significant attention due to whatever. Down here materials and methods. The measurements were taken using a name of thing which allowed for so this just takes away that initial brain power so you can focus on what's actually important which is the details. So it goes even deeper than that. We can end up with results. We can end up with discussion and conclusion scaffolds and sentence starters and if you don't like any of them the one thing I've learned is that talking to the chat GPT is the best way to just refine it. So if you do want to say actually in the conclusion section I only like these sentences but provide me with more that are like that and it does a fantastic job at honing in on that answer. So scaffold and sentence starters. Boom. Another thing you should consider doing is use chat GPT as an editor. So all you need to do is upload the information you've got. It can be a Word document, a PDF into HeyGPT and you can just ask it for improvements. So for example I can go up here. Let's start a new chat. Let's make sure that that is selected. Okay I'm chatting with my files. Brilliant. And I just want to say something in the lines of acting as a scientific editor suggest better titles for this paper. So now it's going to go through and just give me some better titles and I must admit it's done a pretty good job. Ours was pretty clunky but it is sort of like just honing in on those really sort of obvious keywords that people could search for and we're going to ask it about that in a minute. Remember that people aren't just searching your document using like Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar. They're also just typing it into Google. So we can ask it for example what is the best SEO optimized title for this and then what it's going to do is look at the keywords and just make sure that's in the title. So overall I think that this is a fantastic editing tool. It will do this with every single section of your paper once it's finished and it's a way to make sure that it's more likely to pass peer review because you've done the majority of the editing. This sort of editing by the way used to cost maybe thousands of dollars and now you can do it in the comfort of your own office with your favorite mug. Mine isn't here. Favorite mug right next to you. ChatGPT will also help you find weaknesses in your paper before you send it out for peer review. It just acts as that first kind of like gaze and eyes over the paper just to make sure there's no obvious gaps. I asked it for my paper that was published a few years ago and here it says based on the information provided you may also need to address, provide a more detailed comparison with other transparent electrodes. That was actually something that was asked of us. Investigate the long-term stability and performance. Explore the scalability and potential manufacturing challenges. Include an analysis of the mechanical flexibility and adhesion properties. Provide more information on factors contributing to the high figure of merit. Address concerns regarding environmental impacts in the fabrication process especially in comparison to ITO based electrodes. So those are the sorts of questions I think the majority of peer reviewers will start thinking about when they look at this paper. You can do exactly the same thing for you. The prompt I used was in the provided PDF lists some areas that the authors may need to address before publication and it's done the peer review for me. Now you don't obviously have to do all of this and put all of this into the paper but you do just have to be aware that this is a potential question from the peer reviewers. So being a little bit on the front foot and putting a little bit of a sentence in there talking about these things and how it's outside the scope of the paper but these are some ideas could actually be beneficial and it obviously depends on the field and stuff. It would have given me a much better idea about what the peer reviewers are looking for considering they're coming at it like without my knowledge. And one of the last things that I think ChatGPT can really help you with is the boring stuff when publishing. For some reason each single individual publisher wants you to do certain things whether or not it's keywords, whether or not it's like a general layperson summary it can do it all for you once you're happy with the original text. So here you can see that I've said from the text suggest keywords for the papers and here it's done a fantastic job of picking them out. Transparent electrode, organic solar cell, silver nanowire, carbon nanotube, nanocomposite blah blah blah and you can do that with each individual boring admin stuff that each journal wants from you. It's really going to speed up publishing but you just have to make sure that you understand what prompts are the best for your field and get the best out of your paper and like I said consider it a conversation. Talk to the ChatGPT model so that it can actually just refine its answer if you're not happy with the first one and those are the easiest ways to use ChatGPT to make peer-reviewed writing and peer-reviewed publishing an absolute breeze. So there we have it there's everything I think you need to know about using ChatGPT for peer review whether or not you're writing, whether or not you're about to submit or whether or not you're just doing that boring admin stuff expected of you from the journal. I wish this was around when I was doing my PhD and I was in research because it would have shaved hours off the process. It would have helped me analyze my work a little bit deeper and it was acting kind of like a PhD supervisor, research supervisor for me by just doing what I wanted to do with simple prompts and that is better arguably than a lot of actual PhD and research supervisors out there. They take hours to get you stuff back and give you corrections blah blah blah this will do it and it will act like a little mentor for you and let me know in the comments what you think if you've tried it and if there's any particular prompts that work well for you but the scaffolding is going to change your life it's going to make things so much easier for you I promise.
