ChatGPT Citations

ChatGPT Citations is a browser extension designed to generate BibTeX citations from chat conversations in OpenAI's ChatGPT interface. This tool aims to assist students, researchers, and anyone who needs to cite conversations or information obtained from ChatGPT in their academic or professional work.

Features

Extracts user prompts from ChatGPT chat sessions.
Generates unique BibTeX entries for each prompt.
Easy to use with a simple click-to-generate functionality.

Installation

Usage

To get started open ChatGPT and start a chat about some serious stuff, like in our example "What can I do in Paris for 5 days, if I'm especially interested in fashion?".

You'll notice a new button at the top right has appeared.

Once clicked a menu will open on the right with citations ready to copy:

Click to refresh citations as you chat
Click to close the menu

Click to copy the citation in bibtex format. In our case this will look like this:

@online{What can_1703357315504_353695,
 author = {OpenAI gpt-4},
 title = {What can I do in Paris for 5 days, if I'm especially interested in fashion?},
 date = {2023-12-23},
 url = {https://chat.openai.com/c/02bdefd5-7d36-4413-a43e-179ee9050d10}
}

NOTE: Currently the URL to the chat will only be available when logged in. Other users will not be able to see the chat. We may work on a feature to automatically export the chat and use the url of the exported chat instead in the future. If you don't want to wait, you're more than welcome to implement it yourself and issue a PR :)
