Abstract: The study examines the surge in GenAI chatbot mentions in scientific literature, showing a 13-fold increase from November 2022 to December 2023. The use of GenAI chatbots in scientific research is mainly in ICT and Applied Sciences, where AI improves research efficiency. Key applications include writing and practical implementation, demonstrating the tool's widespread use in academic writing and research. Nonetheless, the increasing use of AI in research and academia raises concerns about quality assurance and trust issues.
