English for Academic Purposes (EAP): Cite in APA

Examples of APA

You need to cite in your writing if you use someone else's ideas, data, methodologies, illustrations, facts and figures that are originally created by someone else. To use these without citation is to plagiarize. EAP requires the citation style of APA (American Psychological Association).

APA Citation includes:

1. In-text citations: Integrating ideas and information within your own text from sources quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing and acknowledging. If the author can be identified, write the author's surname (family namelast name) and publication year in brackets:

Photography provides the model for modern technoscientific vision (Garlick, 2009), ...

 

2. End-of-paper references: Including all sources you have cited at the end of your paper. Sources should be listed in alphabetical order by author's surname.

Garlick, S. (2009). Given time: Biology, nature and photographic vision. History of the Human Sciences, 22(5), 81-101.

Citing GenAI with APA Style

APA(美国心理学会)引文格式

领域:APA引文格式,主要用于社会科学领域,包括心理学、教育学等。

规则:作者使用生成式人工智能(AI)模型须在论文方法学部分描述AI使用情况(如所用提示句、生成的文本、文本时间),必要时如果产生的文字太长,可将生成文本附录于文后,在参考文献中提供开发者、模型名称、版本、生成日期及访问链接。AI不作为合著者署名,作者须对论文中所有信息的准确性承担最终责任,对AI提供的信息进行核查确认。

格式:在标引处注明“OpenAI”,版本的发布年份。文后APA参考文献格式将AI公司列为作者,将斜体的AI工具列为标题,后跟括号,括号中注明所用版本的发布日期。随后,在方括号中注明AI工具描述如“Large language model”,并给出其网页链接URL。格式如下:
Company (Year). AI Name (version) [Descriptor]. URL

范例:
When prompted with Is the left brain right brain divide real or a metaphor? the ChatGPT-generated text indicated that although the two brain hemispheres are somewhat specialized, the notation that people can be characterized as left-brainedorright-brainedis considered to be an oversimplification and a popular myth (OpenAI, 2023).

参考文献示例:OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (Mar 14 version) [Large language model]. https://chat.openai.com/chat

文内引用示例:(OpenAI, 2023)

4.12 文献管理软件:EndNote 20

简介:以EndNote 20版本为例,介绍文献管理软件的使用,包括:文献导入、文献管理、文献引用,以提高论文写作和引用效率,并辅助文献阅读。
