If no, write one paragraph explaining how you attempted to verify it. Include where you searched (e.g., the university library, Google Scholar, journal website) and why you believe the reference is not real.

[I searched Google Scholar and the university library database to verify this article by searching the full title. Another method that I used in trying to locate this article is the journal: Journal of Advanced Healthcare Management. I then followed the DOI link provided in the citation. Unfortunately, I could not manage to find any information related to the article in terms of title, authors, or journal. I realized that the DOI that had been provided by the AI generator could not produce a valid source. Therefore, no matching results appeared in credible academic databases. This evidence proves that the AI tool fabricated this reference.

Slide 5: What did you learn from this exercise?

[In this activity, I was involved in understanding how artificial intelligence can be applied in academic research. I also wanted to understand how information can be verified before using it in scholarly work. I had known that AI tools are very reliable in conducting the search for sources used for generating academic content. I had also known that these tools can be used to obtain citations and summaries. However, this exercise enabled me to develop a new perspective about this idea. For instance, I discovered that while AI can produce information that appears accurate and credible. However, I realized that these tools can lead to the generation of fabricated or “hallucinated” references. These are reference that cannot be in real academic databases. As such, I realized that is important to be careful in using information from AI tools by counter-checking AI-generated information.

Tools such as Google Scholar and academic library databases can be used to verify each citation. As a result, this enabled me to develop essential practical research skills for academic success. This compelled me to learn how to cross-check article information such titles, authors, journal names, and DOIs. Therefore, I could easily confirm the legitimacy of every source. This process was useful because it helped me to improve my ability to distinguish between difference types of sources. For instance, I could comfortably distinguish credible, peer-reviewed sources and unreliable sources. The process also helped me to better appreciate the value of evidence-based practice. Healthcare leadership is one of the common contexts that uses this approach owing to the accurate research associated with decision-making. In my declaration, I plan to practice the responsible use of AI tools to complete my academic work. I will benefit by brainstorming of ideas and generation of research questions by utilizing these tools. They will also enable me to develop my work. Before including references in my work, I must ensure that they are properly verified through credible academic sources. Through this experience, I have been able to practice the awareness of academic integrity and implement the ethical use of technology in education.
