AI in Academic Research and Writing: Citing AI

Introduction

Citing AI is essential to maintaining integrity and transparency in your work. Currently, most styles and publications do not recognize AI as an author and use citations as a mechanism for disclosing AI use.

Guidance for citing AI will vary by citation style and may even vary by instructor and/or publication preference. Guidance may change over time as AI tools, uses, and practices evolve. Always check for updates to a citation style’s AI guidance and instructor and/or publisher preferences.
