Citation Styles

Here are some guides to citation styles commonly used in philosophy papers. Ask your professor which style you should use.

How to Cite GenAI

Official citation styles for AI are still being created and will likely evolve, but here are some current examples:
APA Style 
in-text citation:

  • (OpenAI, 2023)
  • reference in bibliography: 
    OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (Mar 14 version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/chat

Chicago Manual of Style

  • A parenthetical remark in the text may suffice as an acknowledgement (this text was generated by ChatGPT), but for a more formal citation you can use a footnote:
    1. Text generated by ChatGPT, OpenAI, March 7, 2023, https://chat.openai.com/chat. 
    2. ChatGPT, response to “Explain how to make pizza dough from common household ingredients,” OpenAI, March 7, 2023.

MLA Style

  • MLA is more flexible and adaptable, so see their page on citing AI for specifics.
  • One possible format: add a parenthetical remark in your text ("Describe the symbolism") to refer to the citation in a "works cited" list:
    "Describe the symbolism of the green light in the book The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald" prompt. ChatGPT, 13 Feb. version, OpenAI, 8 Mar. 2023, chat.openai.com/chat.
