Do Large Language Models Reduce Research Novelty? Evidence from Information Systems Journals

1. 1Measure semantic novelty using SPECTER2 embeddings
2. 2Calculate cosine distance between each paper and its nearest prior neighbors
3. 3Compare novelty scores before and after the introduction of large language models
4. 4Analyze the difference-in-differences to determine the impact of large language models on research novelty

Researchers and academics in the field of information systems and AI can benefit from understanding the impact of large language models on research novelty, as it affects the validity and value of their work

💡 The use of large language models may not lead to increased research novelty, despite increasing productivity
