The paper looks at the role of large language models in academic knowledge creation based on a scoping review (2018 to January 2023) of how researchers have previously used the language model GPT to assist in the performance of academic knowledge creation tasks beyond data analysis. These tasks include writing, editing, reviewing, dataset creation and curation, which have been difficult to perform using earlier ML tools. Based on a synthesis of these papers, this study identifies pathways for a future academic research landscape that incorporates wider usage of large language models based on the current modes of adoption in published articles as a Co-Writer, Research Assistant and Respondent.

It would be interesting to see if anyone else is working in this area using Chat GPT or other language models.
