This is a systematic literature review that is guided by the PRISMA model, to explain the perceptions of university students about ChatGPT and identifies factors influencing ChatGPT adoption in learning and research. This study is informed by the limited literature on students’ perceptions and conceptual frameworks of factors influencing the adoption of ChatGPT as an academic tool. Existing studies either focus on educators; perceptions or on isolated cases of empirical studies conducted for individual and unique contexts. The global-level students’ perceptions and factors influencing their adoption of ChatGPT are currently not clear. This gap is filled by findings from peer-reviewed articles published between November 2022 and April 2024. This study also searches for the positive impact of ChatGPT on students’ education and the concerns raised by students regarding the integration of ChatGPT on the academic practice. The major themes resulting from this systematic literature review will be further used to develop a conceptual framework of factors that influence the adoption of ChatGPT in the academic activities. The findings of this research will have both a practical and theoretical contribution to the body of knowledge. First, findings of this research will explain the perceptions of students about using ChatGPT in the academic practice. Second, results of this study inform the university management and policy makers about how to effectively integrate ChatGPT in the education practice. Third, the study presents a conceptual framework of factors to be considered for a successful incorporation of ChatGPT, a powerful tool for teaching, learning and research.
