Guidelines
We ask users to cite:
-
Any specific publications of plugins used.
-
The general paper of ImageJ flavor(s) used; e.g.:
- If you used Fiji, cite the Fiji paper.
- If you used ImageJ2, cite the ImageJ2 paper.
- If you used the original ImageJ, cite the ImageJ paper.
If journal reference limits interfere, the plugin-specific publications should take precedence.
In general, please cite these projects—their long-term future depends on it!
