This study looks closely at how college and university faculty in the USA are using ChatGPT in scholarly applications.  The study presents detailed data sets for the percentage of faculty with a free ChatGPT account, a paid account, as well as data on its use for article summaries, general research, data analysis or cleanup, grant proposals, editing or proofreading and a plethora of other tasks related to scholarship and scholarly publishing.  The study also presents data on the self-perceived  impact of ChatGPT on personal scholarly productivity.

Just a few of the report’s many findings are that:

• Faculty who are untenured but on a tenure-track were much more likely than others to use ChatGPT for scholarly purposes.
• Only 1.2% of faculty are using ChatGPT for data analysis or data cleanup.
• Faculty age 40-49 are the most common users of ChatGPT to assist with grant and proposal writing
• More than 53% of faculty in earth and environmental sciences have a free ChatGPT account, the highest for faculty of any field in the sample.

It presented in the aggregate and also broken out by institutional characteristics of the respondent's institutions such as enrollment sizes, Carnegie classes, public or private status, and tuition levels, as well as by some personal characteristics of the respondents, such as their age, gender, academic field, and other variables.
