How to Cite AI Generated Content

Consider ethical, responsible, and creative uses for artificial intelligence (AI). 

  • Academics: According to Pacific University policy, you need to cite AI if you use it. Additionally, make sure to check any AI policies for college, program, or syllabi.  
  • Scholarly publishing: COPE Authorship and AI Tools: AI cannot be listed as an author and you must include it in your methods section for any research studies. 
  • Clinic/Work: Follow your organization’s policies to ensure data security and privacy. For healthcare, never enter patient information unless AI has been approved as being HIPAA compliant by your organization.

How to Customize a Style Format in Zotero

Do you want to create your own customized style format in Zotero? E.g., Maybe you noticed an error in an existing style format in Zotero that you want to correct or maybe a journal you're submitting to requires an extra field for all citation in the bibliography, such as adding the study type at the end of the citation. 

Follow the instructions in the Editing CSL Styles - Step-by-Step Guide. It's not the simplest process, but it's doable. Please reach out to Jennifer Lantrip, Health Sciences Student Success Librarian, at lantrip@pacificu.edu for assistance.
