Vilnius, Lithuania /April 15, 2026 - New research from web intelligence platform Oxylabs found that between 2022-2025 ChatGPT accumulated 1,952 citations for the 42 scholarly texts it has co-authored across 12 fields and 6 languages.
The Oxylabs Research team used Oxylabs AI Studio, an AI-powered tool for public data collection, to analyze Google Scholar data from 2022 through 2025, revealing ChatGPT as a truly interdisciplinary and multilingual researcher.
While computer science dominates with 23 publications, ChatGPT's work spans philosophy, nursing, and education journals. Its multilingual portfolio includes 35 English papers alongside contributions in Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, and Indonesian.
This research shows that in a short time, ChatGPT has achieved an m-index of 2, a metric associated with outstanding scientists. Its work appears in publications from Elsevier, Springer, and SAGE, despite these publishers explicitly stating AI cannot be credited as an author.
When the broader academic establishment reinforced these policies in early 2023, ChatGPT’s mentions as a co-author started to decline, but analysis shows how it still impacts science, from producing unpublished papers to appearing through phrases like 'certainly, here is a possible introduction to your topic' that scholars clearly meant to remove from their articles.
"We built Oxylabs AI Studio to allow anyone from businesses to scientists to leverage and access public web data for innovation. Its ability to process web data through natural language prompts makes the lack of technical experience no longer an obstacle for any type of research," said Juras Juršėnas, COO at Oxylabs. “It’s great to see it in action, shining a light on yet another area where the impact of everyday AI tools, like ChatGPT, is both fascinating and groundbreaking.”
