How to cite plugin? - ekatrukha/CurveTrace GitHub Wiki

We do not have a separate paper for this plugin, it is constantly under development.

  1. Alternatively, you can use Zenodo DOI for the link to the specific release:

Katrukha E. 2021, CurveTrace plugin for ImageJ, v0.3.5, Zenodo, doi:10.5281/zenodo.4534721
