ChatGPT and Other AI Tools

Format Example

#.  Name of artificial intelligence tool. Version no. Publisher; Year. Accessed Date. URL

Note: The way software companies identify the version of the software you are using differs from company to company. You can look for a version date, a version name, or a version number.

Note: The AMA advises against attributing authorship to AI software for any material, as the software does not meet the criteria for authorship. If you use AI software to generate content for an assignment, you should clarify that you utilized that specific tool and include a citation for it. When using AI in course assignments it is important to confirm with your professor that Artificial Intelligences is allowed and verify the information that is provided by AI tools.

General Rules 

  • How to format in-text citations in your document.
  • Author/editor names: Last name + First name initial + Middle name initial (if available). e.g., Armand Peter Smith = Smith AP.
  • The names of all authors and editors should be given unless there are more than 6 (7 or more), in which case the names of the first 3 authors are used, followed by “et al”). e.g., Smith TP, Brown A, McLane E, et al.
  • No authors, organization, or editors listed? Contact library@saskhealthauthority.ca to ask a librarian.
  • Titles: Follow examples when using upper- and lowercase initials and italics. Do not use quotation marks for titles (e.g., "Title").
  • Subtitles: Use the colon (i.e., : ) to separate the title from the subtitle. e.g., Rural Healthcare: A Definitive Guide.
  • Dates: Spell out the full month name for 'Accessed' date. e.g., June, not Jun or 06. 
  • Proper nouns: Always capitalize the first initial of country/city, person, clinical tool, organization, and/or association names.
