Correctly Use and Reference ChatGPT in Academic Writing | APA 7th Style |

Never cite ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini as a primary factual source (the way you cite a peer-reviewed journal article). Instead: 1) Cite the underlying peer-reviewed paper for every factual claim, 2) Cite the AI model in APA/MLA/Chicago only when quoting or reproducing AI-generated text, tables, or code, and 3) Include a 3-sentence 'AI Methodology & Disclosure Note' at the end of your paper.
