ChatGPT in Scopus Indexed Articles from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore

Abstract

Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia are the main subjects of this study's bibliometric examination. This study focuses on Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia using bibliometric analysis of papers indexed in the Scopus database. The study looks at the number of yearly publications, leading research institutes, lead authors, and prestigious journals to show the growing scientific interest in ChatGPT across disciplines. The study was conducted using Biblioshiny, which involves data retrieval, filtering, visualization, and interpretation techniques, in order to identify noteworthy patterns and emerging issues. The analysis's findings indicate that research on ChatGPT has grown significantly, rising from 69 papers in 2023 to 86 in 2024 at a growth rate of 24.64%. The highest production is from the National University of Singapore (NUS), which is followed by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). Prominent scholars like Rudolph Jürgen, Roe Jasper, and Perkins Mike have made significant contributions to the field. The theme mapping indicates that current research is concentrated on human-computer interaction, assessment studies, and AI accuracy, with growing interest in semantics and quality control. The transdisciplinary benefits of ChatGPT in management, healthcare, and education are highlighted in the most often cited publications. The Journal of Public Health and the Journal of Applied Learning and Teaching are two of the most prominent publication sources that highlight ChatGPT's engagement with technology and applied research. As evidenced by the subject's explosive growth, the study highlights the need for interdisciplinary cooperation, ethical considerations, and policy development to maximize the use of ChatGPT research across industries in Southeast Asia. Long-term studies on ChatGPT should be conducted in the future. Furthermore, as the application of AI grows, appropriate integration of AI-based technologies is required to maximize its societal impact.
