Dentistry: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Research

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hot topic in our world, especially when it comes to research and information science. Before you proceed with using AI tools, please consider reviewing the links provided below. 

1. ! Avoid plagiarism. Double check and review your citations to ensure accuracy.
   • At this time, AI does not always understand how to avoid plagiarizing resources developed by others.   
   • UIC Avoiding Plagiarism Guide (Link) 
2. Review the AI policies and procedures adopted by your current and future work places or universities.
   • Artificial Intelligence Info from the UIC Technology Solutions Department (Link) 
   • UIC College of Medicine Page with "Guidance from Experts" info (Link) 
3. Literature review resources: Learn how to evaluate resources and critically appraise literature before asking for help from an AI tool. 
   • UIC Guide on Scientific Writing: Literature Reviews (Link)
   • AI-Assisted Literature Reviews Guide from the University of Iowa (Link)

These tools are very interesting and helpful; however, I highly recommend that you carefully evaluate the work that any AI tool generates for you. Ultimately, it is your professional opinion against a new, emerging software that is still "learning" and in development.
