Citing Pluto

Providing attribution in the Methods or related sections of posters, publications, and other materials

Overview

In general, if you plan to publish plots or tabular results that you generated with Pluto in research papers, posters, or any other materials, please provide attribution and include a URL to Pluto's website with a statement similar to one of the following:

• "Plots created with Pluto (https://pluto.bio)."

• "Analysis performed using Pluto (https://pluto.bio)."

This phrase is typically put into the Methods section or similar area of a publication. For an example of a paper citing Pluto, see Dasgupta et al. Nature Communications (2023).
