As always, students should consult CiteThemRight for citing and referencing their resources correctly.

CiteThemRight provides specific guidance for referencing AI . When citing resources such as ChatGPT, students should follow the citation order under Personal Communications on the CiteThemRight website (please login to CiteThemRight first using your St George's, University of London username and password).

At the moment, CiteThemRight does not offer any specific guidance on how to reference Artificial Intelligence (AI) using the Vancouver style, but you can follow these St George's guidelines.

Examples of how to acknowledge, describe and reference use of AI in an assignment

Where you have used AI in your assessment task, you must disclose this by appending a log with your submission in line with guidance you have received for submitting your assignment. Your log should include appropriate details regarding the use of AI in the development of your assignment in line with the published guidelines by:

  • acknowledging the use of AI 
  • describing the use of AI 
  • providing appropriate references.

Acknowledgment (log)
  • I acknowledge the use of Generative AI (WEBSITE) in the planning of my essay, to establish the structure of my work and generate ideas about aspects to focus on.
  • I acknowledge the use of Generative AI (WEBSITE) in the generation of images contained within my presentation.
Description of use of AI
  • I used Bard to create a high-level structure which I then adapted in my essay. The outputs of the model are included as an Appendix item. I also used Bard to generate ideas about the differences between (TOPIC A) and (TOPIC B). The output was helpful in developing an initial understanding, prior to consulting peer reviewed sources which informed my answers.
  • The following prompts were input into Bard: 
    • <List prompt(s)> 
  • The output obtained was: 
    • <Paste the output generated by the AI> 
  • The output was changed by me in the following ways: 
    • <Explain the actions taken>.
