Citing our sources
If you're citing a specific medicinal claim or evidence, please cite the underlying research reference directly (linked from each claim), not PlantSage.
Cite PlantSage when the value is in our aggregation, categorization, or cross-referencing — i.e. our editorial work, not the underlying primary sources we curated.
