Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The widespread integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into higher education has transformed conventional practices for drafting, revising, translating, and presenting academic work.For multilingual researchers, large language models (or LLMs) provide immediate linguistic support, but their use also raises questions about reliability, authorship, overreliance, and academic integrity.Adrian Wallwork's AI-Assisted Writing and Presenting in English enters this discussion from a deliberately practical perspective.Published in Springer's English for Academic Research series, the book is aimed primarily at university students, doctoral candidates, researchers, language editors, translators, and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) teachers.Wallwork, a scientific editor and EAP teacher of PhD students, does not attempt to formulate a theory of GenAI-assisted language acquisition.Instead, he offers a hands-on guide to using chatbots and machine translation for recurring academic communication tasks.This practical orientation is both the book's principal strength and the source of some of its limitations.
