How to Cite ChatGPT Using APA Style

APA.org uses ChatGPT as an example, which can be adapted for the use of other large language models (e.g., Bard), algorithms, and similar software.

Example:

  • In-text & Reference

Note: When you use information from a source in your writing, you include an in-text citation to give credit to the original author.

Note: At the end of your paper, you include a list of all the sources you cited in your text. This is called a reference list.

 

Example:

  • Including Appendices or Supplemental Materials

Note: Make sure they are referenced within the body of your paper at least once.

Note: Bracketed text in references serves to provide additional descriptions.

 

Example:

  • Breaking Down the Four Elements Needed for Your References

Author - The model is OpenAI

Date - Year of the version you used

Title - Name of the model you used

Source - URL links to source
