“…Along with instructor guidance, this might help students meet expectations for writing quality, citations, and proper inclusion of data, figures, tables, spectra, etc. Improvement of human writing falls in line with advice provided in other publications for researchers − and advice from other educators. − It is also the acknowledged use of ChatGPT in some recent research articles. , Execution and Revision of AI-Generated Protocols. AI has great potential for helping to develop lab protocols, but as described above, it gives experimental details that often do not fit a given real-life lab.…”

“…ChatGPT (debut November 2022) is a large language model (LLM) that uses a deep neural network architecture based on the Transformer model . It is already garnering attention from the chemistry community due to its ability to aid and even potentially replace some professional writing and research tasks. − Several journals in the ACS family of publications have provided editorial and/or commentary-style discussions of proper usage and considerations for this technology. − Some authors are using and acknowledging ChatGPT for manuscript text generation and/or improvement (Figure ). , As per the guidelines of this Journal , we acknowledge our use of ChatGPT for a conversation about its implementation in classrooms.…”

AI technologies are rapidly pervading many areas of our world. AI-driven text generators such as ChatGPT are at the forefront of this due to their simplicity and accessibility. Their influence on higher education is already being observed, and perceptions among faculty and students vary widely. We have undertaken a cross-curriculum study of ChatGPT’s ability to generate laboratory reports. AI-generated reports from general, organic, analytical, physical, inorganic, and biochemistry courses were graded as if they were student reports and analyzed for grade distributions and common strengths and weaknesses. To further gauge ChatGPT’s current impact, we surveyed all students in our Spring 2023 laboratory courses regarding their awareness and use of ChatGPT. We have also laid out suggestions, guidance, and considerations for instructors who wish to prohibit ChatGPT use by their students as well as for those who wish to begin incorporating this new, powerful tool into their teaching.

“…Multiple manuscripts have highlighted common problems in scientific writing of published literature such as paragraph structure, 5 demonstrative pronouns, 6 incomplete comparison, 6 and superlatives, 7,8 summarized in Figure 1A. While numerous strategies to address the issues of quality writing are available (e.g., ACS virtual issues of writing art mastery, 9,10 increasing science impact/identifying scientific problems, 11,12 and figure presentation 13,14 ), it is still challenging for learners to know whether writing patterns and expressions used in their own manuscripts are suitable for scientific publication.…”

Writing is an essential component of scientific activity. As such, it is necessary to develop strategies to provide equitable training opportunities for science writing. In order to provide learners with ways to improve their writing regardless of their language background and/or institutional and departmental environments, this article describes a self-learning strategy, Contextual Analysis of Scientific Publications for Advancing writing Skills (CASPArS), that employs contextual analysis of top scientists’ publications. By using full-text search software to analyze several hundred selected publications, the CASPArS method affords a visual representation of proper usage of words/phrases of interest, facilitating learners to understand writing patterns and rules in leading scientific papers. In order to increase the accessibility of the method for diverse communities around the world, a free-search software sin3rou and 500 open-access chemistry papers by 150 US researchers have been included in the Supporting Information. Using this CASPARS strategy, learners/students are able to develop appropriate writing through “professors’ eyes” by taking advantage of established scientific writers’ experience and knowledge of language usage.

“…Additional tips on composing an effective scientific article have been summarized in two previous Virtual Issues. , To increase the chance of receiving positive recommendation by reviewers and editors it is important for co-authors to actively engage in the manuscript preparation and check the manuscript prior to submission. A mistake caught early on, before submission, can save embarrassment later.…”
