How to Cite Sequenzo and the Documentation Website

The Sequenzo ecosystem currently consists of two components that, while related, should be cited separately depending on their use.

1. Sequenzo Python Package

A high-performance toolkit for social sequence analysis, offering efficient data structures, dissimilarity measures, clustering, visualization utilities, and additional tools designed for large-scale sequence datasets.

2. Documentation Website

This website goes beyond a traditional user manual. It contains extensive tutorials, conceptual explanations, and practical examples.

These materials not only teach users how to work with Sequenzo, but also introduce fundamental concepts, methods, and best practices in social sequence analysis. The aim is to support learners and researchers at all levels.

Because these two components differ in content, purpose, and publication format, please choose the citation that corresponds to what you are using.
