Hello,

What is the preferred way to cite the OpendTect documentation on a publication?

I found this example online:

OpendTect Pro and Plugins User Documetation [2021], Chapter 1.4, Thalweg Tracker.

But I'm not sure if I should add some names upfront (dgb?).

I found the citation example on: Image '21 Master Class Webinar: Log-log Prediction Using Machine Learning, Seismic Classification (https://youtu.be/uqFZA90LDHQ?t=485)

which I could also cite, but I wasn't able to find its source on the Image '21 program.

Thanks!

Rafael

Hi Alan,

This is a good question. How to cite user documentation depends on the style that is used in the publication. Here are a few common styles:

🧾 APA 7th Edition

 dGB Earth Sciences. (2025). OpendTect Pro and dGB Plugins: User documentation. Retrieved November 5, 2025, from https://doc.opendtect.org/2025/doc/dgb_userdoc/Default.htm

🔬 Chicago (Author–Date)

dGB Earth Sciences. 2025. OpendTect Pro and dGB Plugins: User Documentation. Accessed November 5, 2025. https://doc.opendtect.org/2025/doc/dgb_userdoc/Default.htm.

📖 SEG / Geophysics citation style

dGB Earth Sciences, 2025, “OpendTect Pro and dGB Plugins: User documentation”: accessed November 5, 2025, https://doc.opendtect.org/2025/doc/dgb_userdoc/Default.htm.

Best regards,

Paul.
