Is your article real? Checking references for accuracy when using ChatGPT

The Library is aware that ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) products may generate false or “hallucinated” citations as scholarly sources. In essence, the generator attempts to predict the language for the citation based on a natural language processing model rather than searching for real and actual scholarly research. The citations generated cannot be traced to any source, thus are not truly scholarly sources you should cite in your work. To minimize the inadvertent use of false citations in UT Southwestern research, education, or patient care documents or publications or in Interlibrary Loan requests, it is recommended to always check that the citation is an actual authored work. Questions? Contact the Library using the Ask Us form or call 214-648-2001.
