How to Cite ChatGPT in Vancouver Style

 

The Vancouver style, the author-number system, is commonly used in the medical and scientific fields. In this style, references are numbered in the text, and the reference list and numbers are assigned to each source in the order they are cited.

Here’s how you might cite ChatGPT in Vancouver style:

The reference is given as a number in square brackets for an in-text citation like this [1].

The full reference in the list at the end of the document would look something like this:
OpenAI. ChatGPT [Internet]. 2020 [cited Year Month Day]. Available from: https://www.openai.com/chatgpt/
Note that ‘Internet’ in the citation denotes that the software is accessed online. ‘Cited Year Month Day’ should be when you last accessed the software. The URL points to the software’s homepage, not the content generated.

Vancouver style will list references at the end of the paper in the order they appear in the text. Therefore, the number assigned to the ChatGPT reference may vary. It’s crucial to remain consistent with the numbering throughout your document.
