Citing Pavlovia Surveys

[Ryan_Blything]

Hi, how should we cite/reference pavlovia surveys?

[wakecarter]

Thank you for asking.

Since there isn’t yet a relevant paper and Qualtrics is cited Qualtrics (Qualtrics, Provo, UT), please cite Pavlovia Survey as Pavlovia Surveys (Open Science Tools, Nottingham, UK),

Separately, please cite any individual surveys you use or copy in the same way as you would an experiment.

Here’s my proposal for APA format: Author, Initials (Date of substantial commit used). Title [Computer software]. Pavlovia. URL. This is based on the information from Reference List: Electronic Sources // Purdue Writing Lab. I think the best URL is to the Pavlovia page (since it is easy to get to Gitlab from there) or an OSF/ Zenodo DOI. e.g. Morys-Carter, W. L. (2021, May 18). ScreenScale [Computer software]. Pavlovia. https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/8FHQK.
