23 Where to cite

Generally, you need to cite in TWO places:

• In your writing where you
  • Quote
  • Paraphrase
  • Summarize
  • Use or refer to specific audiovisual representations (data, images, tables, figures, video clips, podcasts, performances, etc.)

• In a list of sources at the end of your paper, called
  • References (APA)
  • Works Cited (MLA)
  • Bibliography (Chicago)

If you list a source only in the list of sources, it is a form of plagiarism. 

For AI assistance, you may also need:

• An AI disclosure statement (often at the end of your paper or in a footnote)
• Specific notation at the point where AI was used
• A detailed description of how AI contributed to your work

Example AI Disclosure Statement: “This document was created with assistance from ChatGPT and has been reviewed and edited by [Your Name]. AI was used primarily for brainstorming initial ideas and checking grammar. For more information on the extent and nature of AI usage, please contact the author.”
