HOW TO CITE MAIZEGDB

Why cite MaizeGDB?

One of the ways we are able to demonstrate that MaizeGDB is a useful resource is by tracking references to MaizeGDB in the literature. If you wish to make reference to the project, placing a link within the paper (e.g., http://www.maizegdb.org) is not enough! Although we appreciate the inclusion of any reference to MaizeGDB in your publications, we cannot track these sorts of references. Instead, please use the following as a guide to citing MaizeGDB within your publications.

If you are seeking a general reference for MaizeGDB, we suggest one of the following:
