Using ChatGPT for Academic Paper Analysis: A Practical Guide

In this tutorial, I explored how you can use ChatGPT, now enhanced by the latest model, GPT-4o, to analyse and interact with documents and academic papers. To demonstrate, I used one of my own papers and crafted a specific prompt. I’ve also provided three different prompts in the description which you can check out and adapt to your needs.

OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, recently announced this new GPT-4 model, which is the most advanced and fastest yet. My extensive testing has shown impressive results, particularly its ability to accurately find sources, a significant improvement over previous versions which often generated inaccurate information.

In this tutorial I used ChatGPT-4o to analyse an academic paper and answer questions about it. I uploaded my paper and used this prompt: “Identify the key findings and implications of this article.” This paper discusses the veto power of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

Hereโ€™s how ChatGPT responded:

1. Key Findings:

– The veto power and its impact on global peace.
– The recent events, such as Russia’s veto against a resolution in 2022.
– Structural challenges to the UN Charter, making amendments difficult.
– Historical context and recent proposals and debates.

2. Implications for International Law and Governance:

– The misuse of veto power undermines the credibility and effectiveness of the UN Security Council.
– The need for reforms to address these issues.

I found this response to be accurate and well-structured, reflecting the main points of my paper. You can tweak the prompt for broader or more specific responses as needed.
