Regarding citations and Chat GPT

The guidance from several academic journal editors has been to make a statement of one’s use of any AI chat-/dialogue tools (like ChatGPT) in the acknowledgment section. By virtue of it being nothing more than a large language model, it can’t assume responsibility like a human author would be.

My recommendation would be to utilize an extension like ChatGPT Phantom that write various output with a citation, though not always academic citation.

You can also use Longshot.ai to create writing output that will include about 10-15 citations from mainstream media articles and some open source journals.

Students would be best to copy-and-paste subjects and phrases from AI writing output into a tool like Elicit.org to gain access to various open source academic articles related to the topic. This way, they can ensure to validate the output to research studies and cite their sources accordingly.
