If you would like to cite information generated by an AI tool and provide the reader with the chat transcript, but the tool does not offer a shareable URL, you can include the transcript in the appendix. In the reference list, use the standard format outlined in "Referencing AI tools generally".

See the example below to see how to include it within your assessment.

  • When there is only one appendix, use the label "Appendix."
  • When there are multiple appendices, use the label "Appendix" plus a capital letter (e.g., "Appendix A", "Appendix B")
• Title: Write the appendix title on the next line after the appendix label in bold and centred. Ensure the title describes the content of the appendix.
• Content: After the appendix label and title, present the content of your appendix. Double-space all text, and ensure any citations in the appendix appear in the main reference list for the paper.
• Ensure all page numbers appear on every page at the top right corner, including all pages of an appendix.
