An example sentence that should not be used without paraphrasing:

"The images were analyzed using RhizoVision Explorer v2.0.3 (Seethepalli and York, 2020) using algorithms described by Seethepalli et al. (2021)."

Reproducibility and Open Data

For your analysis to be reproducible, we recommend listing all settings in the methods section including DPI, thresholding, filtering, smoothing, pruning, and diameter classes used. Please fully describe the imaging hardware and procedure. Additionally, consider sharing your datasets, statistical analysis code, and even the settings file used for RhizoVision Explorer in a publicly accessible repository, such as Zenodo, DataDryad, Figshare, CyVerse Data Commons, or other.

*The guidance on this page is in no way a required stipulation for use of this free, open-source software.
