How to Cite AI

_____________________________________________________________________________

Quoting or reproducing the text created by ChatGPT

Faculty are recommended to use the language approved by the WVCAS for citing AI generated content in students' research projects. Have students use the following or similar wording to describe how they used a tool. For literature reviews or other types of essays or response or reaction papers, have students describe the use of the tool in the introduction. If it is a STEM project or similar, describe how you used the tool in your Method section or in a comparable section of your paper.

"The author(s) acknowledge the utilization of [Generative AI Tool Name], a language model developed by [Generative AI Tool Provider], in the preparation of this assignment. The [Generative AI Tool Name] was employed in the following manner(s) within this assignment [e.g., brainstorming, grammatical correction, paraphrasing, citation, specific section of the assignment]."

Example (What a student may write in the introduction):

The author acknowledges the utilization of ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI, in the preparation of this assignment. ChatGPT was employed to create an outline on the challenges faced by women workers during World War II. Grammarly was also employed to spellcheck any mistakes made in this paper.
