How to cite MNE-Python

Citing the software

To cite specific version numbers of the software, you can use the DOIs provided by Zenodo. Additionally, we ask that when citing the MNE-Python package, you cite the canonical journal article reference 1:

1

Citing other algorithms

Depending on your research topic, it may also be appropriate to cite related method papers, some of which are listed in the documentation strings of the relevant functions or methods. All references cited in the MNE-Python codebase and documentation are collected in the General bibliography.
