How do I cite AI in NoodleTools?

After clicking to create a new citation, select Website then look for the AI Response/Output option.

This will bring up a form that allows you to cite the AI tool in general, or to cite a specific prompt and related output.

Use an adapted format for citing software when generating citations for for AI tools:

• Author - use the company/author of the model (for example: use OpenAI is the author of ChatGPT)
• Date - include the year of the version you used
• Title - name of the model/tool (such as ChatGPT)
• Version - include the version number in parentheses
• Additional Information - use [bracketed text] to help the reader understand what is being cited (for example: use [Large language model] for ChatGPT)
• Source - if the publisher has a different name than the company/author, include this before the URL
• URL - include the link to the model/tool

Example: ChatGPT
