How you refer to OMIQ as a software platform may be journal-specific. However it should be sufficient to say something like “[insert performed task (e.g. FlowSOM) here] was done using the OMIQ software from Dotmatics (www.omiq.ai, www.dotmatics.com).”. Feel free to modify the wording a bit as needed.
Here are some basic information that may be required within materials and methods:
- Software product name: OMIQ
- Product website: www.omiq.ai
- Company name: Dotmatics
- Company website: www.dotmatics.com
Currently OMIQ is not fundamentally described in any journal article. For that reason, a traditional academic citation is not possible. However, there are certain algorithms available in OMIQ that have associated journal articles. For example, if you used opt-SNE, there is a Nature Communications paper dedicated just to that. Another example is cyCombine, which has a dedicated Nature Communications paper. Note that there are other algorithms with associated journal articles and the two given here are just examples.
The original papers of algorithms are linked in their corresponding How To guides.
Currently OMIQ does not show you an official software version at any given time. This is because we change it fairly continuously and you may have to report many versions, which is impractical. We instead recommend giving a date or date range when the software was accessed.
