1. **[Can large language models provide useful feedback on research papers? A large-scale empirical analysis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liang-2023-large-language-models-provide/)** *(2023 · 332 citations)* Rising submission volumes make it harder to get timely, high-quality critique of manuscripts. ICLR submissions, for example, grew from 960 in 2018 to 4,966 in 2023. Junior and under-resourced researchers are hit hardest. The authors test whether GPT-4 can supply useful reviewer-style comments. Their pipeline parses a…
2. **[Measuring the Evolution of a Scientific Field through Citation Frames](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jurgens-2018-measuring-evolution-scientific-field-through/)** *(2018 · 314 citations)* Citation counts usually treat every reference as equal, but authors cite earlier work for very different purposes.
3. **[Monitoring AI-Modified Content at Scale: A Case Study on the Impact of ChatGPT on AI Conference Peer Reviews](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liang-2024-monitoring-ai-modified-content/)** *(2024 · 119 citations)* Detecting LLM-written text one document at a time is unreliable, and humans perform barely better than chance at it.
