How to Cite Gemini in IEEE (standard)
Learn how to cite Google Gemini chats and AI output in IEEE format (standard). This guide includes the reference list format, in-text citation examples, and key formatting rules.
IEEE Reference List Format
Here is the standard IEEE format for citing Gemini in your reference list:
[1] Google, “Title of the shared chat,” Gemini model name, Mon. Day, Year. [Online]. Available: https://g.co/gemini/share/…

Parenthetical

Narrative
In [1], Gemini 2.5 Flash outlines the grammar concepts a high school graduate should understand.
Key IEEE Formatting Rules
- IEEE has no official format for generative AI; this entry adapts IEEE’s online-source pattern, which university IEEE guides commonly use for shared chats.
- For a Gemini chat readers cannot open, some guides use a private communication: [1] Gemini, private communication, May 2025.
- IEEE’s author guidelines require AI-generated content to be disclosed in the Acknowledgments, naming Gemini and the sections where its output appears.
- Number the reference in order of first citation; cite the original web source, not Gemini, for facts you found through Google Search’s AI features.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Gather source information: Collect the author name, title, publication date, and URL or DOI for your Gemini.
- Format the reference: Arrange the elements following the IEEE (standard) template shown above.
- Create the in-text citation: Add a parenthetical or narrative citation in your paper where you reference this source.
- Add to your reference list: Include the full formatted citation at the end of your paper.
- Double-check formatting: Verify italics, punctuation, capitalization, and hanging indents match IEEE requirements.
Evidence and review notes
Worked examples on this page are written by hand from the style's own published guidance and checked against it, because the general CSL styles do not encode this source's rules. Editorial guidance and sources in this section were reviewed on 2026-08-14.
Metadata to collect
- the company that built the tool (Google)
- the Gemini model shown, such as Gemini 2.5 Flash
- the date of the conversation
- the chat title in your Gemini history
- the exact prompt you typed
- the public g.co/gemini/share link
Common metadata traps
- A Google AI Overview at the top of Search results is not a Gemini chat; MLA says AI Overviews are search results, not a work, so click through and cite the page it links.
- The gemini.google.com/app/ address in your browser bar is private; readers can open only the link the Share button creates, which begins g.co/gemini/share.
- Gemini used inside Gmail, Docs, or Slides is AI built into ordinary software, which APA’s Part 2 post treats like spell-check: usually a disclosure, not a reference.
