About this use case

Using AI in research is now normal; using it responsibly is what protects your reputation. That means verifying outputs, never citing sources you have not checked, protecting participant data, and disclosing AI use the way your institution and publisher expect.

This hub brings together SciSpace Academy's tutorials on research integrity: how to disclose AI use across every stage of a project, how to avoid hallucinations and fake citations, what grant and journal reviewers notice, how global regulations are changing in 2026, and how to keep the researcher in charge of the work. These are among our most attended tutorials, delivered by editors, librarians, statisticians and researchers.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to disclose that I used AI in my research?

Most major publishers and many universities now require disclosure when AI tools materially contribute to a manuscript, analysis or images. Policies differ, so check your journal and institution. A short statement naming the tool, the version and what it was used for is usually expected.

What are AI hallucinations in research?

A hallucination is confident output that is not true, such as a fabricated reference, a misquoted finding or an invented statistic. Reduce the risk by working from real sources, asking AI to quote the passage it relies on, and checking every claim against the original paper.
