New guidelines for using GenAI in academic literature reviews

A new paper proposes guidelines, named GUEST, for researchers using generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) in systematic literature reviews (SLRs). The guidelines address the challenges of ensuring the rigor, reliability, and transparency required for SLRs, which GenAI tools currently cannot guarantee unsupervised. While GenAI can assist with repetitive tasks and validation, human oversight remains essential for trustworthy systematic studies. AI

IMPACT Provides a framework for researchers to responsibly integrate AI tools into systematic literature reviews, ensuring rigor and transparency.
