Finding High-Quality Sources Using ChatGPT

A confident citation is not evidence.

The practice

AI can accelerate discovery by suggesting search language, authors, and candidate studies. It cannot perform the final act of verification. Trace every source to the original publication and judge its relevance, quality, and context yourself.

What to carry into your work

  1. 01

    Use AI to develop keywords and identify possible research trails.

  2. 02

    Verify titles, authors, dates, and claims in scholarly databases.

  3. 03

    Read the original source before citing or summarizing it.

The ethical question

If the source disappeared from the chat, could you still locate and evaluate it independently?
