Introduction: ChatGPT could support scientific research and writing, allowing researchers to focus on generating results and data analysis. However, it is essential to consider the possible biases and limitations in developing text and the ethical and quality implications in producing scientific knowledge.

Methods: There was a scientific search in PubMed and Scopus with the keyword “ChatGPT,” establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria to select ten relevant open-access articles on using ChatGPT in scientific research and writing over the last five years.

Results: Several authors point out the potential of ChatGPT as a support tool for scientific research and writing and highlight its capability to provide valuable comments and suggestions as well as its use to write a coherent text and to manage references and citations; however, they warn about possible biases and ethical limitations in its use and the need for human supervision. The journal Nature establishes ethical and transparency principles for its use and recommends the exclusion of ChatGPT as an accredited author in a research paper.

Conclusions: ChatGPT is a valuable tool in scientific writing, but its use should be regulated to avoid substituting the human experience and guarantee ethical and quality standards. Caution and human supervision are required to ensure the accuracy of results and recognize their use in research papers without conferring any authorship on them.
