Citing GAI
If you are using part of a response provided by GAI, you should acknowledge this in some way. We would suggest you describe how you used the GAI in the introduction or appendix to your paper, and provide an In Text Citation and entry in your Reference List - citation examples are provided below in The BEST AI Chatbot. You should make it clear that you have not used the GAI as a primary information source but as a tool, like the SPSS software for statistics or the PRISMA flow diagram for systematic reviews. It may also help to provide the entire response to your question/prompt in an appendix, or a link to the response.
To maintain your academic integrity, avoid including large portions of GAI output in your paper. Using the Copyright rule of thumb, we suggest you keep the inclusion of the GAI text to under 10% of your entire paper. Unless, of course, your assignment is to critically evaluate the GAI response.
