## Title: ScholaWrite - Understanding Scholarly Writing
## ScholaWrite - Understanding Scholarly Scientific Writing with AI


Do you enjoy reading fiction? We are interested in studying how text in stories affects readers’ engagement in order to improve natural language processing (NLP) models.
Are you currently graduate students at UMN and working on scientific papers for journal/conference submissions? Our study has the following two objectives:

- We are interested in studying how scholars in scientific domains write a paper and capturing certain patterns of their writing behaviors.
- We would like to obtain insights about how scholarly writers interact with an AI-powered (ChatGPT) paraphrasing tool and are influenced by the interaction in one's writing behavior.

### Eligibility

Adult 18 or older, English speaking, with normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
Graduate students or affiliates at UMN, who are currently working on an **Overleaf project** for submission. If selected, their co-authors at different institutions are also eligible to participate.

### Study

Participants will read two short stories and periodically answer comprehension questions. The data collected during this experiment is gaze data, i.e., the focal coordinates of the pupil on the display screen, as well as pupil diameter and responses to comprehension questions. Data is sampled at a rate of 2000Hz by the eye tracking machine. This work is conducted under PI, Prof. Dongyeop Kang
Participants will install a system 'ScholaWrite' into their own laptop. The data collected by ScholaWrite during this experiment is anonymized keystroke data, i.e., the information gathered from a human using a keyboard, such as which keys are pressed and when, and the sequence of keys pressed (these sequences make up words, sentences, paragraphs, etc.). Also, the associated timestamps and ChatGPT-suggested paraphrasing would be stored under anonymity, too.

### Payment
Paid for the time spent via Amazon gift card with $15/hr value
This work is conducted under approval by PI, Prof. Dongyeop Kang at Minnesota NLP.

### Location
### Payment

This is an **in person** study, taking place on the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus. More details provided on booking a session.
Participants will receive a $20 Amazon giftcard. Only the participants
themselves will receive this payment.
