How do I cite the tools I used in my history?


If you performed your data analysis in Galaxy, you can easily export a list of all the tools you used—and should cite—as follows:

  1. Click on the History options button ( galaxy-history-options ) in the right-hand panel.
  2. Select Export Tool Citations from the menu.
  3. The middle panel will display a list of tools used in your history, with citation information provided in two formats: APA and BibTeX.
  4. Don’t forget to also cite Galaxy itself in your publication.

Proper citation helps support the developers and ensures reproducibility—thank you for taking this step!
