How do I refer to an answer from ChatGPT?
Answer
ChatGPT
It is important to understand that if you have used ChatGPT or any other generative language model in your academic work, you should be transparent about it in your text and declare it according to established norms.
If your examiner and institution approve the use of ChatGPT or other language models in your work and you are wondering how to disclose it, follow these guidelines:
Since each author must be accountable for the content and results of the thesis, AI tools like ChatGPT cannot be listed as authors—only humans can.
If AI has been used for data collection, analysis, or generating figures, it should be mentioned in the methodology section.
If AI has been used as assistance in writing, it should instead be acknowledged in, for example, the preface or the acknowledgments section.
Example:
During the preparation of this thesis, I used [AI tool name and version] to improve language and readability. After using the tool, I reviewed and edited the content. I take full responsibility for the entire text.
