Citations for original figures (not created using BioRender templates)

Whether you’re publishing in a journal, textbook, or simply in a presentation or departmental website, all users must cite BioRender figures with the credit “Created with BioRender.com.”

You can include this wherever it makes sense, like the figure caption, citations list, or acknowledgments.

*If you are part of a sitewide or departmental license, please follow the licensing and citation terms laid out by your institution.
