• Abstract: This study investigates the use of AI tools in academic writing through analysis of AI usage declarations in journals. Using a mixed-methods approach combining content analysis, statistical analysis, and text mining, this research analyzed 168 AI declarations from 8,859 articles across 27 categories. Results show that ChatGPT dominates academic writing assistance (77% usage), with significant differences in tool usage between native and non-native English speakers (p = 0.0483) and between international and non-international teams (p = 0.0012). The study reveals that improving readability (51%) and grammar checking (22%) are the primary purposes of AI tool usage. These findings provide insights for journal policy development and understanding the evolving role of AI in academic writing.

  This study proposes a keystroke dynamics-based method to differentiate between bona fide and assisted writing. To facilitate this, a dataset was developed to capture the keystroke patterns of individuals engaged in writing tasks. The detector, trained using a modified TypeNet architecture, achieved accuracies ranging from 74.98% to 85.72% in condition-specific scenarios and from 52.24% to 80.54% in condition-agnostic scenarios.

  This study attempts to extract micro-level linguistic features in high- and moderate-impact journal RAs, using feature engineering methods. We extracted 25 highly relevant features from the Corpus of English Journal Articles through feature selection methods. Results showed that 24 linguistic features such as the overlapping of content words between adjacent sentences, the use of third-person pronouns, auxiliary verbs, tense, emotional words provide consistent and accurate predictions for journal articles with different academic impacts.
