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 ( ) in the right-hand panel.
  2. Select Export Tool References from the menu.
  3. The middle panel will display the references for the tools used in your history, in two tabs: References (APA) and BibTeX. Tools that don’t provide citation information are not listed.
  4. The first reference is Galaxy itself; don’t forget to also cite it in your publication (see citing Galaxy).

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