Citing a Specific Chapter or Section

When referencing specific handbook analysis, cite the chapter or section for precision.

Pattern:

Tegomoh (2026), “Biological Data Infrastructure” section.

Example (AMA):

Tegomoh B. Biological Data Infrastructure. In: The Life Sciences AI Handbook. 2026. https://lifesciencesaihandbook.com/foundations/data-infrastructure.html

Example (BibTeX):

@incollection{tegomoh2026biologicaldatainfrastructure,
  author = {Tegomoh, Bryan},
  title = {Biological Data Infrastructure},
  booktitle = {The Life Sciences AI Handbook},
  year = {2026},
  url = {https://lifesciencesaihandbook.com/foundations/data-infrastructure.html},
  note = {Chapter in Part I: Foundations}
}

Citing Primary Sources Referenced in the Handbook

Best Practice: Cite the Original Source

When the handbook discusses journal articles, datasets, regulatory documents, or company disclosures, cite the original source for the claim. Cite the handbook for its framework, taxonomy, or interpretation.

Incorrect:

The handbook says AlphaFold 2 changed structure prediction.

Correct:

AlphaFold 2 improved protein structure prediction at CASP14 (Jumper et al., 2021).

Dated Citations for Regulatory and Company Sources

Regulatory guidance, agency pages, company disclosures, and product documentation change over time. Formal reports should include the access date for each cited source or archived page.

Recommended note:

Accessed 2026 May 24.

For a source that changes frequently, use the source version, archive record, accession identifier, or regulator document number when available.

DOI Status

The handbook DOI is pending. Until a Zenodo DOI is assigned, use the canonical URL:

https://lifesciencesaihandbook.com

After DOI registration, use the DOI in place of the canonical URL for whole-handbook citation. Keep the canonical URL as the full-text URL when the citation style allows it.
