How to cite NCBI Virus?

In case you would like to credit the NCBI Virus resource as part of your work, include this URL https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/virus/vssi/#/ in the website citation formatted according to your publisher's recommendations.

Example:

NCBI Virus [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US), National Center for Biotechnology Information; 2004 – [cited YYYY MM DD]. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/virus/vssi/#/.

How to Cite SARS-CoV-2 Variants Overview?

NCBI SARS-CoV-2 Variants Overview page can be cited as a website, by including this URL https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/activ in a website citation formatted according to specific publisher’s recommendations.

Example:

SARS-CoV-2 Variants Overview | NCBI Virus [Internet]. Bethesda (MD): National Library of Medicine (US), National Center for Biotechnology Information; 2004 – [cited YYYY MM DD]. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/activ.
