Example 1: Footnote or endnote
For a formal citation, use a numbered footnote or endnote:
Format: Text generated by Author, publisher or sponsor, date, URL of the tool.
1. Text generated by ChatGPT, OpenAI, March 7, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat. |
Example 2: Note
If the text doesn't contain the prompt, you can include it in the note:
Format: Author, response to “Topic,”, publisher or sponsor, date.
1. ChatGPT, response to “Explain how to make pizza dough from common household ingredients,” OpenAI, March 7, 2023. |
Example 3: Parenthetical text reference
If you use author-date instead of notes, any non-text information will be placed in a parenthetical text reference:
“(ChatGPT, March 7, 2023)”. |
