Cite this website

The ABCD data documentation is version-controlled. ABCD uses Zenodo to provide a simple way to view and cite previous versions of the codebase generating this website. Each version has a unique & permanent DOI. This allows users to track changes over time and cite or share specific versions as needed.

Important

Because the documentation is regularly updated, we strongly recommend citing the exact version you used.

To cite the current version (6.0.0), visit the most recent release on Zenodo. The appropriate citation with the DOI for the latest version is listed in the citation box on the right side of the page—simply copy and paste it into your references.

Why use versioning?

Versioning is important because content and tools may change over time. This includes information about the study. Citing versions of this website allows for:

  • Transparency about where you got the information used in publications & presentations.
  • Reproducibility despite changes in the data or the tools available in ABCD.
  • Historical record to be able to go back to earlier versions of the website.

View prior website versions

To view previous versions of the ABCD data documentation website, select a specific version from the version menu on the top-right corner of the page.

Version naming convention

The version numbers for the website follow the following convention: The package major version number (first two digits) matches the ABCD data release version number. For example, the version 6.0.0 and other 6.0.* versions (e.g., 6.0.1, 6.0.2, etc.) relate to the ABCD data release 6.0, 7.0.* versions relate to the ABCD release 7.0, and so forth.

The changelog provides a synthesized description of the changes of the documentation website between versions.
