논문 작성을 위한 올바른 AI 사용법

요즘은 논문 투고할 때 온라인 투고 시스템에서 자동으로 유사도(표절) 검사를 하므로 표절 문제는 거의 없습니다. 유사도가 가끔 높게 나오기도 하는데 이전 실험 방법과 동일하거나 비슷한 주제로 후속 논문을 작성하는 경우입니다. 해당 연구분야에서 널리 사용되는 표현 방법과 전문용어도 유사도 산정에 포함되기 때문에 수치가 과대평가됩니다. 논문 전체적으로 유사도가 30%를 초과하지 않으면 별 문제가 없습니다. 혹시 이전 논문 문장을 그대로 가져오고 맨 뒤에 참고문헌만 추가하지 않았는지 검토하면 됩니다.    

 

그런데 앞으로 표절보다 문제될 수 있는 것이 AI로 작성한 문장입니다. 아래와 같이 ChatGPT에 간단한 스크립트를 입력하고 그럴듯한 논문 서론을 작성할 수 있습니다. 실제 논문 수준이 되기 위해서는 연구자가 직접 최신 연구동향과 참고문헌 등이 포함해야 하지만, 아래 정도의 흐름을 논문 초안 작성할 때 참고하면 상당히 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

Now, let's turn this outline into a well-crafted introduction:

 

Introduction

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of organic compounds composed of multiple aromatic rings, known for their ubiquitous presence in the environment, originating from both natural and anthropogenic sources. These sources range from volcanic eruptions and forest fires to the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, making PAHs prevalent contaminants in atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic environments. Given their carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic properties, PAHs have garnered significant attention in environmental toxicology and public health studies.

The atmospheric transport of PAHs, particularly their ability to travel long distances, plays a crucial role in their global distribution. This transport is influenced by a myriad of factors including the physical and chemical properties of the PAHs, meteorological conditions, and atmospheric processes. Understanding the mechanisms behind the long-range transport of PAHs is critical for assessing their environmental impact and for developing strategies to mitigate their adverse effects.

A key aspect of PAH atmospheric behavior is their gas/particle partitioning, a process that significantly affects their transport, transformation, and eventual deposition patterns. This partitioning is governed by the PAHs' vapor pressures, ambient temperature, and the properties of particulate matter in the atmosphere. The dynamic equilibrium between gas-phase PAHs and those adsorbed onto particles determines their residence time in the atmosphere, their deposition pathways, and their potential for causing harm to distant ecosystems and human populations.

Despite extensive research, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the factors controlling the long-range atmospheric transport and gas/particle partitioning of PAHs, as well as the implications of these processes for environmental and human health. This study aims to bridge these knowledge gaps by investigating [specific research objectives]. Through this research, we seek to provide new insights into the mechanisms governing the atmospheric fate of PAHs and to contribute to the development of more effective environmental management and pollution control strategies.

 

문제는 이렇게 ChatGPT가 작성한 문장을 그대로 논문이나 숙제에 붙여 넣기를 할 수 있다는 것입니다. 이렇게 되면 저자가 학생이 아니라 AI가 되는 셈이고, 앞으로 더 많은 논의와 합의가 있어야겠지만, 표절보다 더 심각한 문제가 될 수 있습니다. 

 

그러므로 우리 연구실 학생들은 AI로 작성한 문장을 절대로 그대로 논문에 붙여 넣지 말고, 논문의 전체적인 흐름, 주요 내용 구성, 연구 방향과 향후 계획 등을 검토하고 영문 교정하는데 사용하세요. 만약, AI가 작성한 문장을 꼭 쓰고 싶다면 문장을 충분히 고쳐야 합니다.
