Almost 1,000 papers have been published THIS YEAR that have ChatGPT in the title. As at 22 August 2023, the actual number of papers published is 985.
Since ChatGPT came to the general public’s attention in November 2022, it has been subject to scrutiny from almost all walks of life. The research community has not been slow to investigate this AI tool.
Looking at Scopus and ONLY searching for ChaptGPT in article titles (so NOT looking at the abstracts and keywords), the search returned 985 papers. Moreover, only three papers were published in 2022, so 982 papers have been published this year (and counting – this data was extracted on 22 Aug 2023).
Figure 1 shows the top five papers, with regard to the number of times they have been cited. As can be seen, they are receiving a lot of attention. It is interesting to note that four of the papers were published by Nature
and the other paper (the top cited paper) was published in Science.
