It’s also nice if you cite the website (www.cellprofiler.org) and email us so that we are aware of your publication, but this is much less critical than citing the publications.

If you used CellProfiler in a publication and would like to include your pipelines as online supplemental information, we are willing to host the pipelines here. Please contact us for more information.
