On February 1, 2026, the following came into effect in Ukraine: Law No. 4742-IX \u201cOn Academic Integrity.\u201d<\/a> For the first time, a separate concept has appeared in the legislation:
\"Unethical use of artificial intelligence\"\u2014on par with plagiarism and data fabrication.<\/p>

There's also a Registry of Violators. And it's entirely possible to end up on it. Most researchers don't know that their text is already undergoing automatic AI test<\/strong> at universities.<\/p>

Before analyzing the errors, it's important to understand the context: What exactly did the law on academic integrity and AI change in 2026?<\/a> \u2014 We discussed this in detail in a separate article.<\/p>

Test yourself: Are you making any of these 5 mistakes?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The most common. And the easiest to detect.<\/p>

Ukrainian universities have switched en masse to StrikePlagiarism<\/a> with an AI-content detection module\u2014it went live in December 2025. The system generates an official PDF report containing two metrics: the percentage of plagiarism and the percentage of text likely generated by a machine.<\/p>

At the same time, Scopus journals (Elsevier, Springer Nature) require a separate declaration regarding the use of AI<\/strong> directly in the manuscript. Without it, the submission will be rejected.<\/p>

If you want to do AI text verification<\/strong> Before serving, we recommend using special utensils. Top 5 Free AI Detectors for Academic Texts<\/a> \u2014 A detailed review with a comparison of accuracy.<\/p>

What to do:<\/strong> Please list the tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), specify the tasks for which you used them, and at what stage you used them. The law and Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution No. 928<\/a> They demand this explicitly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This isn't just a mistake\u2014it's a ticking time bomb.<\/p>

In December 2025, it was revealed at the NeurIPS conference that 100+ Bizarre Quotes<\/strong> in papers by authors from Google, Harvard, Meta, and Cambridge. In another case\u2014the University of Hong Kong\u201420 of the 61 citations in a peer-reviewed article turned out to be completely fabricated.<\/p>

The statistics are disheartening: ChatGPT generates between 39.6% and 55% completely fabricated citations when creating literature reviews.<\/p>

There's only one rule:<\/strong> Check every source obtained through AI manually\u2014either in Google Scholar or directly in the database.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Good news: In its guidelines, the Ministry of Education and Science explicitly permits the use of AI for translating and adapting quotations.<\/p>

Bad: Concealing this fact is already a violation.<\/p>

If you translated a foreign source using ChatGPT or DeepL and pasted it \u201cas is\u201d without citing it\u2014that falls under the law. A single sentence in the methodology or \u201cAcknowledgments\u201d section completely resolves the issue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution No. 928<\/a> and Law No. 4742-IX<\/a> are equally clear: All parts of the text written using AI must be reviewed and edited by the author personally.<\/strong><\/p>

The Ministry of Education and Science specifically prohibits \u201cthe generation of scientific conclusions using AI without independent verification.\u201d<\/p>

In other words, even if the AI wrote a brilliant conclusion\u2014it can\u2019t just be left \u201cas is.\u201d This isn\u2019t bureaucracy.

The registry of violators is required by law and will become operational after July 31, 2026, when each university is required to adopt internal regulations. The responsible authority is NAZYAVO.<\/p>

The consequences of being included in the Registry are not merely symbolic:<\/strong>
\u2022 at least 1 year<\/strong> without the right to hold academic titles;
\u2022 revocation of an academic degree<\/strong> if discovered after the defense;
\u2022 a 10-year ban on holding leadership positions at higher education institutions<\/strong> in systemic cases;
\u2022 Withdrawal or Revocation of a Diploma<\/strong> For applicants.<\/p>

A simple practice that offers protection:<\/strong> Keep an AI log from day one\u2014date, tool, query, and purpose. And include the statement directly in the text of your work.<\/p>

Declaration template under Law No. 4742-IX:<\/strong>
\u201cThe following artificial intelligence tools were used in this work: [names]. They were applied to [specific tasks]. All sections written with the use of AI have been reviewed and edited by the author personally. The scientific arguments, conclusions, and results represent the author\u2019s own intellectual contribution.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

AI isn't banned\u2014and that's the main thing. But 2026 changed the rules of the game forever.<\/p>

Previously, the question of \u201cwhether I used AI\u201d was a matter of personal conscience. Now it is a legal obligation enshrined in law, monitored by the university, and subject to very specific penalties for violations\u2014including revocation of one\u2019s degree.<\/p>

Almost everyone makes the 5 mistakes listed in this article\u2014not because they\u2019re dishonest, but because the new requirements were introduced recently and haven\u2019t yet become second nature. The registry of violators will go into effect after July 31, 2026. Until then, there\u2019s still time to get things in order.<\/p>

Three things you should do today:<\/strong>
\u2022 Start keeping an AI journal\u2014tool, date, query, goal;
\u2022 Add a statement regarding the use of AI in your work;
\u2022 How to Run an AI Check \u2014 A Comparison of the Top 5 Free Tools \u2014 A comparison of the top 5 free tools.<\/a><\/p>
