Citing AI Tools
The Council of Science Editors recommends treating AI-generated content as personal communication. Personal communication advice is as follows:
- Cite personal communication in-text only,
- Do not include in the References section
- Include a description of the content that was created or edited and the name of the language model or tool, version and extension numbers, and manufacturer
Example: I asked it to respond to a prompt for "factors that influence gene expression" (ChatGPT [OpenAI], response to question from author, 3 May 2024).
(Always follow your professor's guidelines for AI use in the course.)
