The GenAI Footprint in Scholarly Publications Reflects the Complex Issues of Academic Integrity in the Post-Plagiarism Era

March 5th, 2024, 10h am EST (Montréal) 

Lecturer: Gengyan Tang, and Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton

Webinar description: To come The GenAI Footprint has increasingly appeared in scholarly publications. We conducted a rapid investigation and ongoing monitoring of this phenomenon. Our initial evidence reveals cases of complete plagiarism involving ChatGPT-generated content by both faculty and students in certain countries. Further evidence from our ongoing tracking indicates that this phenomenon is spreading across a wider range of publication types and appearing in journals of varying quality (both high- and low-tier), signaling a global issue. This raises concerns about the emergence of “bad apples” in the quality assurance of higher education in the post-plagiarism era and calls for a systemic response to tackle this challenge.

 

Gengyan Tang, MA, is a PhD student in the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary. His research interests include research integrity and academic integrity. Gengyan currently serves as a peer reviewer for academic journals such as Accountability in Research, Journal of Scholarly Publishing, and BMC Medical Education.
