Citation Guides for History
There are many styles of citation available for publications. The History department at EIU has developed a citation guide based on The Chicago Manual of Style (also known as Turabian style). You will, of course, need to confirm with your professor as to which style you will apply to your research.

How do you recommend citing content developed or generated by artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT? Many scholarly publishers are requiring its identification though also requiring human authors to take responsibility for it and will not permit the AI to have “authorship.”
You do need to credit ChatGPT and similar tools whenever you use the text that they generate in your own work. But for most types of writing, you can simply acknowledge the AI tool in your text (e.g., “The following recipe for pizza dough was generated by ChatGPT”).
