Abstract
Background and Developing and using ChatBots based on artificial intelligence (AI) has raised
Aim of Study: issues about their legitimacy in scientific research. Authors have increasingly
begun to use AI tools, but their role in scientific publications remains
unrecognized. In addition, there are still no accepted norms for the use of
ChatBots, and there are no rules for how to cite them when writing a scientific
paper.
The aim of the study: to consider the main issues related to the use of AI that arise
for authors and publishers when preparing scientific publications for publication;
to develop a basic logo that reflects the role and level of involvement of the AI and

the specific ChatBots in a particular study.

Results: We offer the essence of the definition “Human-AI System”. This plays an
important role in the structure of scientific research in the study of this new
phenomenon. In exploring the legitimacy of using AI-based ChatBots in scientific
research, we offer a method for indicating AI involvement and the role of ChatBots
in a scientific publication. A specially developed base logo is visually easy to
perceive and can be used to indicate ChatBots’ involvement and contributions to
the paper for publication.

Conclusions: The existing positive aspects of using ChatBots, which greatly simplify the process
of preparing and writing scientific publications, may far outweigh the small
inaccuracies they may allow. In this Editorial, we invite authors and publishers
to discuss the issue of the legitimacy we give to AI, and the need to define the role
and contribution that ChatBots can make to scientific publication.
Keywords: ChatBot, artificial intelligence, Human-AI System, legitimacy, logo, scientific
