Background: The utilisation of ChatGPT in writing scientific papers has sparked both pros and cons in Indonesia. Some studies reveal its great potential, while others highlight the negative impacts resulting from its use. Objective: This research aims to analyse the area, impact, and trends in the use of ChatGPT in writing scientific papers in Indonesia through a systematic review. Methodology: Researchers use Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to conduct the analysis. The sample consists of 19 selected studies collected from the Google Scholar and Scopus databases. Result: The research results show that the areas in which ChatGPT is used in writing scientific papers include topic selection, reference search, data analysis, scientific grammar, and translation. The use of ChatGPT in writing scientific papers faces some serious challenges, especially those related to ethics and academic integrity, such as increasing rates of plagiarism and declining values of honesty and responsibility. Moreover, dependence on Artificial Intelligence technology can potentially reduce the development of human intellectual abilities, such as critical thinking, analysis, interpretation, and logic. Conclusion: The utilisation of ChatGPT in academic writing in Indonesia has both positive and negative aspects. Regulation and morality can be crucial keys to realising a quality academic environment. Unique Contribution: This research contributes to understanding the opportunities and challenges of utilising ChatGPT in writing scientific papers and provides information regarding areas that have the potential for further research. Key Recommendation: To minimise risks while still maximising ChatGPT’s positive potential, an in-depth understanding of the appropriate regulations for using it in writing scientific papers is needed. © 2024, University of Nigeria Department of Mass Communication.
