The referencing style from the American Psychological Association (APA) is used widely across the University. The latest edition of the style is APA 7th edition.

You can find the latest advice for citing and referencing content created by generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools on the APA Style blog.

In summary, from April 2023:

• In your Methods or Introduction section, describe how you used the GenAI tool.
• Include the prompt you used in the GenAI tool and any relevant portion of the AI-generated response.
• Cite and reference the GenAI tool in the same way you would computer software, including a version number and a short description of the type of tool.
• You can include long prompts as footnotes, or in an appendix or online supplemental materials.
• You can include long AI-generated responses in an appendix or online supplemental materials. This is important because readers cannot recreate the exact response even if they use the same prompt you used.
