Answers

GPT 3.5
When writing a reference for an article, you typically follow a specific formula called the APA (American Psychological Association) citation style. The exact formula you use depends on the source of the article and whether it is in print or online.

For a print article, the basic formula is as follows:

Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of the article. Title of the Journal, Volume(Issue), page range.

For example:

Smith, J. (2022). The impact of climate change on biodiversity. Journal of Environmental Studies, 10(2), 24-36.

For an online article, you may need to include additional information such as the URL or DOI (Digital Object Identifier). The formula generally looks like this:

Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of the article. Title of the Journal, Volume(Issue), page range. DOI or URL.

For example:

Johnson, A. (2019). The effects of exercise on mental health. Journal of Sports Medicine, 5(1), 50-65. doi:10.1080/123456789.12345678

It's important to consult the specific guidelines or requirements of the publication or institution you're submitting your article to, as they may have their own variations or preferences in citation style.
