Thesis” and “Dissertation” are the words often used in academia, which also lead to some confusion that what exactly each word means. This article tries to clarify the Difference Between a Dissertation vs Thesis.

Difference between Dissertation vs Thesis

Thesis – is a Greek word meaning “proposition”

Dissertation- is a Latin word meaning “discussion”

Thesis – is usually used for a PhD (doctoral) or M.Phil. level degree in the UK.

A Thesis is a document that presents the author’s research and findings and is submitted in support of candidature for a degree or professional qualification.

Thesis statements at the primary argument and tell supervisors what you want to ascertain. It goes to all depths of the topic throughout the thesis work and in the conclusion part, the topic and its finding are summarized.

Dissertation – Generally, described as a treatise without relation to obtaining an academic degree. But, the usage of the word differs in two countries US and UK, and that confusion reflects the rest of the world.

In the US,

A person needs to write a thesis if he doing a master’s level education.

A person needs to write a dissertation if he doing a doctoral degree.

In the UK,

A person would be awarded a master’s level degree if he has successfully submitted dissertation work.

A person needs to write a thesis if he doing a Ph.D. (Doctoral) degree.

Finally,

The main confusion occurs in the usage of the terms dissertation and the thesis is the structure. Both have an introduction, literary review, main body, conclusion, bibliography, and appendix.

ChatGPT is an AI language model, it can generate text based on the input provided by user. However, It should be used as a tool to assist in the writing process rather than being relied on entirely to write a scientific research paper. Writing a scientific research paper requires not only knowledge of the subject matter but also critical thinking, analysis, and interpretation of data. Therefore, it is essential to use ChatGPT in conjunction with your own expertise and knowledge.

In this article, ilovephd provided tips to use ChatGPT for Scientific research paper writing.

ChatGpt to Write a Scientific Research Paper

Here are some steps you can take to use ChatGPT to write a scientific research paper:

  1. Define your research question or hypothesis:
    • Begin by identifying the research question or hypothesis that you want to address in your paper.
  2. Conduct literature review:
    • Use ChatGPT to search for relevant scientific literature related to your research question or hypothesis. ChatGPT can provide you with a summary of existing research on the topic, as well as any gaps in the literature.
  3. Gather and analyze data:
    • Collect data through experiments, surveys, or other means. Then, use ChatGPT to help analyze and interpret your data, as well as generate visualizations to support your findings.
  4. Organize your paper:
    • Use ChatGPT to help organize your paper by creating an outline, structuring your arguments, and ensuring that your paper is well-organized and flows logically.
  5. Draft your paper:
    • Use ChatGPT to generate draft sections of your paper, such as the introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections. However, ensure that you review and edit the content generated by ChatGPT to ensure it aligns with your research and is written in your own voice.
  6. Edit and proofread your paper:
    • Use ChatGPT to help edit and proofread your paper for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. However, ensure that you carefully review and make any necessary revisions to the content generated by ChatGPT to ensure accuracy and clarity.

Remember that while ChatGPT can be a helpful tool in the scientific research paper writing process, it is not a substitute for your own expertise, critical thinking, and analysis. Therefore, it is important to use ChatGPT in conjunction with your own knowledge and skills to ensure a high-quality scientific research paper.

One of the biggest differences between Google Bard and ChatGPT is the size of the datasets they are trained on. Google Bard is trained on a dataset of 1.56 trillion words, while ChatGPT is trained on a dataset of 175 billion words.

This means that Google Bard has access to a much larger pool of information, which can give it an advantage in tasks that require a deep understanding of languages, such as translation and summarization.

2. Model architecture

Another key difference between Google Bard and ChatGPT is their model architecture. Google Bard is a transformer-based model, while ChatGPT is a recurrent neural network (RNN)-based model. Transformers are a type of neural network that has been shown to be very effective for natural language processing tasks. They are able to learn long-range dependencies between words, which can be important for tasks such as translation and summarization.

3. Access to the internet

One of the most important differences between Google Bard and ChatGPT is their access to the internet. Google Bard has access to the internet in real-time, while ChatGPT does not. This means that Google Bard can access the latest information from the web, which can give it an advantage in tasks that require up-to-date information, such as news aggregation and question answering.

4. Cost

Google Bard is currently free to use, while ChatGPT is not. ChatGPT is a commercial product, and users need to pay a subscription fee to use it. This means that Google Bard is more accessible to a wider range of users.

5. User interface

Google Bard has a more user-friendly interface than ChatGPT. The Google Bard interface is designed to be easy to use and understand, even for users who are not familiar with LLMs. The ChatGPT interface is more complex and requires some technical knowledge to use.

6. Documentation

Google Bard has more comprehensive documentation than ChatGPT. The Google Bard documentation provides detailed instructions on how to use the model, as well as examples of how to use it for different tasks. The ChatGPT documentation is less comprehensive and does not provide as many examples.

7. Community support

Google Bard has a larger and more active community of users than ChatGPT. The Google Bard community is a great resource for users who need help using the model or who want to learn more about it. The ChatGPT community is smaller and less active.

8. Security

Google Bard has been designed with security in mind. The model is trained on a private dataset and is not accessible to the public. ChatGPT is not as secure as Google Bard. The model is trained on a public dataset and is accessible to anyone who wants to use it.

9. Bias

Google Bard has been designed to be as unbiased as possible. The model is trained on a dataset that is representative of the real world. ChatGPT is not as unbiased as Google Bard. The model is trained on a dataset that is biased towards certain viewpoints.

10. Future development

Google Bard is a newer model than ChatGPT, and it is still under development. Google is constantly working to improve the model and add new features. ChatGPT is also under development, but Google is not as active in developing the model as Google is with Google Bard.

10 differences between ChatGPT and Google Bard

  1. Architecture: ChatGPT is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture developed by OpenAI, while Google BARD (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers Auto-Regressive Decoder) is based on the Transformer architecture developed by Google.
  2. Training Data: ChatGPT has been trained on a large corpus of text data, including books, articles, and websites, while Google BARD has been trained on a subset of the Common Crawl dataset, which is a collection of web pages.
  3. Language Support: ChatGPT supports multiple languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese, while Google BARD currently supports only English.
  4. Task Specificity: ChatGPT is a general-purpose language model, capable of generating text for a wide range of tasks, while Google BARD is designed specifically for natural language generation tasks.
  5. Model Size: ChatGPT is available in several different sizes, ranging from a few hundred million parameters to over a trillion parameters, while Google BARD is available in a single size, with approximately 1.6 billion parameters.
  6. Training Methodology: ChatGPT was trained using an unsupervised learning approach, while Google BARD was trained using a combination of supervised and unsupervised learning approaches.
  7. Ownership: ChatGPT is owned and developed by OpenAI, while Google BARD is owned and developed by Google.
  8. Availability: ChatGPT is available for public use through OpenAI’s API, while Google BARD is currently only available for research purposes.
  9. Applications: ChatGPT has been used in a variety of applications, including chatbots, text summarization, and machine translation, while Google BARD has been primarily used for natural language generation tasks such as text completion and question answering.
  10. Performance: ChatGPT has achieved state-of-the-art performance on several natural language processing benchmarks, while Google BARD has also achieved strong performance but has not yet surpassed the performance of some of the largest GPT models.

Conclusion

Google Bard and ChatGPT are two of the most powerful LLMs on the market. Both models have their own strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the best model for you will depend on your specific needs and requirements.

If you are looking for a model that is accurate, up-to-date, and easy to use, then Google Bard is a good choice. If you are looking for a model that is versatile and can be used for a variety of tasks, then ChatGPT is a good choice.

If you are still unsure which model is right for you, then I recommend trying both models and seeing which one you prefer.

Want to make your research really come to life? Use analogies or metaphors. Relating your work to everyday experiences can make it more relatable and engaging. It’s like taking your readers on a journey they can easily grasp.

5. Show, Don’t Just Tell

The words are great, but the visuals are even better. Incorporate images, graphs, and charts to illustrate your key points. A picture can often convey complex data in a way that words can’t.

6. Tell a Story

Your research is a story waiting to be told. Start with a problem or question, describe the exciting journey of your investigation, and conclude with the findings and their real-world implications. Stories capture attention and keep readers engaged.

7. Simplifying without Sacrificing Depth

Simplicity doesn’t mean sacrificing the depth of your work. It means making complex ideas accessible. Focus on the most important findings and concepts, and provide links to more in-depth sources for those who want to dive deeper.

8. The Magic of Clarity

Use clear and concise language. Short sentences and straightforward words are your best friends when it comes to simplifying complex ideas. No need to overcomplicate things.

9. Engaging Your Audience

Invite your readers to be part of the conversation. Encourage questions and feedback. This interaction not only keeps your readers engaged but also helps you fine-tune your future content to their needs.

10. Citing Your Sources

Always provide proper citations for your research. This enhances your credibility and allows readers to explore further if they wish. It’s a win-win!

11. Polishing for Perfection

Lastly, don’t forget to edit and proofread your articles. Simple, clear language is even more effective when it’s error-free.

Simplifying complex research is an art, but with the right techniques, you can make your work accessible to a broad audience. Whether you’re writing for experts, students, or the general public, following these tips will help you break down the barriers of complexity and open the door to a world of understanding.
