User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query very concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: can you italicize words in an apa essay
Assistant: Yes, you can italicize words in an APA essay. According to the APA Style Manual, italicization is typically used for:

1. Titles of longer works: books, movies, reports, and web pages.
2. Emphasis: when you want to emphasize a particular word or phrase.
3. Scientific names of species: the genus and species names should be italicized.

When using italics, ensure consistency throughout your essay and follow APA guidelines for formatting and style. If you need further details on specific instances of italicization or examples, let me know!
User: should there be headings for things like introduction, main ideas, conclusion in APA essay?
Assistant: In an APA-style essay, it is recommended to use headings to organize your content clearly. The headings help readers understand the structure of your work. Here’s how you can approach headings in an APA essay:

1. **Level 1 Heading**: Centered, Bold, Title Case. This is typically used for the main sections of your essay, including the Introduction, Main Ideas, and Conclusion.
   
2. **Level 2 Heading**: Left-aligned, Bold, Title Case. This can be used for subsections within your main ideas.

3. **Level 3 and Lower**: These are used for more detailed subsections, with increasing levels of indentation and formatting.

For the main sections, you might include:
- **Introduction** (can be labeled as such or simply start with the content under this section),
- **Methodology** (if applicable),
- **Results** (if you are presenting research),
- **Discussion or Main Ideas**,
- **Conclusion**.

Following proper heading levels not only improves readability but also adheres to APA style guidelines. If you have specific questions about how to format a certain section, feel free to ask!
User: Can the conclusion in an APA essay be multiple paragraphs or does it have to be all one
Assistant: In APA format, the conclusion section of an essay can be multiple paragraphs if necessary. There are no strict rules requiring the conclusion to be just one paragraph. Here are a few points to consider:

1. **Length and Content**: If your discussion encompasses complex ideas or findings, multiple paragraphs can help clarify and summarize those points effectively.
   
2. **Structure**: Often, the first paragraph of the conclusion summarizes the main findings or arguments, while subsequent paragraphs can explore implications, suggestions for future research, or broader applications of the work.

3. **Clarity**: Aim for clarity and cohesiveness. Each paragraph should serve a purpose and contribute to the overall message of your conclusion.

Ensure that your conclusion flows well and wraps up your essay effectively, regardless of the number of paragraphs you choose to use. If you need more specific guidance, feel free to ask!
User: can the heading for the conclusion have more than just "conclusion"
Assistant: In an APA essay, the heading for the conclusion can be more descriptive than just "Conclusion." While it is common to use "Conclusion," you can also use headings that summarize the content or purpose of that section. For example, you might use:

- **Conclusion and Discussion**
- **Final Thoughts and Conclusion**
- **Implications and Conclusion**

Using a more descriptive heading can enhance clarity and provide readers with a better understanding of what to expect in that section. However, ensure that it still reflects the content of your conclusion. If you have further questions or need more examples, feel free to ask!
User: should the name of a source be italicized or put in quotes according to APA
Assistant: In APA style, the treatment of titles of sources depends on the type of work being referenced:

1. **Italicized**: Titles of longer works, such as books, films, reports, and webpages, should be italicized. For example:
   - *The Great Gatsby* (book title)
   - *Inception* (movie title)

2. **In Quotes**: Titles of shorter works, such as journal articles, essays, book chapters, or web articles, should be placed in quotation marks. For example:
   - "The Impact of Social Media on Youth" (journal article title)
   - "Introduction to Psychology" (chapter title)

By following this guideline, you can ensure that you are correctly formatting titles according to APA style. If you have any more specific questions or need examples, feel free to ask!
User: can you put a phrase in quotes if it's not from a source, just for emphasis
Assistant: In APA style, using quotation marks for emphasis on a phrase that is not sourced is generally discouraged. Quotation marks should primarily be reserved for direct quotations from sources, to avoid confusion about the origin of the words. 

If you want to emphasize a particular phrase or term in your writing, consider using italics instead. Italics can effectively convey emphasis without suggesting that the text is a direct quote. 

For example, instead of writing:
- "Important" concepts are discussed in this essay.

You could write:
- Important concepts are discussed in this essay.

If you have further questions or need clarification on any specific situations, feel free to ask!
