Reference Lists and Bibliographies using UT Verse 

UT Verse AI Assistant, AI Insights: Reference Lists & Bibliographies

Creating a clean bibliography or reference list is easy with UT Verse, which helps organize and format references quickly. It allows you to focus on writing or teaching rather than wrestling with style rules. UT Verse ensures that every source is properly cited and formatted.  

Academic papers include a list of sources at the end, formatted as either a reference list or a bibliography, depending on the citation style. 

Reference List: A reference list includes only sources cited directly in the paper and is used in styles such as APA, MLA, and AMA. UT Verse can scan your document and generate a formatted reference list based on your selected style. 

Bibliography: A bibliography includes all sources used or consulted, whether they are cited in the text or not. Styles such as Chicago and Oxford use bibliographies. UT Verse helps compile and format a complete bibliography, including sources tied to images and tables. 

How to Create a Reference List or Bibliography with UT Verse 

  1. Log in to UT Verse using your NetID and password.
  2. Upload your document. 
  3. Write a prompt choosing the citation style you need.
  4. Have UT Verse generate your reference list or bibliography using your prompt.
  5. Review and use the generated citations with confidence.
