When using or referencing WikiPathways in general, please cite the main page:



When using, referencing or redistributing particular pathways, please cite the specific pathway, for example: www.wikipathways.org/instance/WP254

  • When citing the live version of a pathway, attribution to individual contributors is not necessary. WikiPathways will track and display contributions from individual authors and curators to each pathway on each pathway page. So as long as hyperlinks are provided to WikiPathways, the evolving list of contributors will be indirectly referenced.
  • However, if you are referencing a specific version of a pathway (even including the current version), then it is important to include a URL of the form: wikipathways.org/instance/WP254_r93003. This approach is useful if you want to maintain a link to a snapshot of the pathway and not have future changes obscure your original points. Use the "r" argument in the URL to refer to particular revision ID numbers, which you can find in the History section of each pathway page.
  • Also, when referencing a specific version, it is appropriate to list the individual contributors, since future contributors are not an issue. Thus, the reference might look like this:

Salomonis N, Pico A, Hanspers K: SIDS Susceptibility Pathways (Homo sapiens). wikipathways.org/instance/WP706_r92921


When referring to the use of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) and WikiPathways, please cite the respective paper:

  • Martens M, Verbruggen T, Nymark P, Grafström R, Burgoon LD, Aladjov H, Torres Andón T, Evelo CT, Willighagen EL.
