How to cite NMD
You may use the tools of the Virtual Space Laboratory for research and for business, free of charge. The one thing we ask is that you say that you used them, and cite us. Here is how.
The short form
Put this under a figure, in the methods of a paper, in the references of a report or on a slide. Replace the tool and the date.

Good to know
- This applies to research and to business alike: a paper, a thesis, a proposal, a report to a client, a product description, a presentation.
- You do not need to ask us. You do not pay us. You keep your inputs, your studies and your results.
- Please do not suggest that NMD approved or certified your work. Saying that you used the tools is not saying that NMD checked what you did with them.
- The software itself is not available for reuse. This page covers the use of the website and its results. The terms say the rest.
