Generative AI in-text citations
The in-text citation for AI-generated content requires a shortened version of the prompt used to create the text in quotation marks.
The example below shows the original prompt and an in-text citation showing how the AI-generated text was paraphrased and incorporated into an essay.
Example of an in-text citation of a direct quote from AI-generated text:
