Citing source material#

Many tutorials in this book are based on published research papers, software documentation, open datasets, or other source material. When using material from a tutorial, please also check the References section of that tutorial.

If a tutorial discusses a published method, result, dataset, or figure, the original publication should be cited in addition to this JupyterBook. This is especially important for research projects, presentations, reports, posters, or manuscripts.

In other words:

  • cite this JupyterBook when you use the explanation, structure, code, or tutorial design;

  • cite the original literature when you use the scientific result, method, dataset, or published idea.

Reusing code examples#

The Python examples in this book are intended to be copied, modified, and extended. If you use the code as a starting point for a class project, research notebook, tutorial, or publication, please acknowledge the source when appropriate.

You should also document any changes you make. For example, note whether you changed input parameters, modified a model, used a different dataset, or extended the analysis.

Good research practice means making it clear what came from the original tutorial and what you changed.

Responsible reuse#

This book is meant to support learning and research training. The examples are designed to be useful, but they are not a substitute for checking assumptions, reading the literature, or validating results independently.

Before using material from these notes in research or teaching, make sure that:

  • the assumptions match your application,

  • the code has been tested for your use case,

  • the relevant literature has been consulted,

  • any external data, figures, or software packages are cited properly.
