 <h1>Citing the UCSC Browser in a Publication or Web Page</h1>
 <p>
-Follow these citation guidelines when using the Genome Browser tool suite or 
-data from the UCSC Genome Browser database in a research work that will be published in a journal or
-on the Internet.  In addition to the relevant paper, please include a reference to the Genome 
-Browser website in your manuscript: <a href="index.html" 
-target="_blank">http://genome.ucsc.edu</a>. Permission is granted for reuse of all graphics produced
-by the UCSC Genome Browser website.</p>
-<p>
-Be sure to mention the release date of the genome 
-assembly used in your work to facilitate the examination of your data by reviewers and readers.
-If you would like to add a URL to the Genome Browser displaying a specific location or 
-configuration, please use a <a 
-href="goldenPath/help/hgSessionHelp.html#Introduction">Session URL</a>. This will ensure 
-all data and settings remain fixed. Please do <strong>not</strong> include references 
-to our development servers (such as genome-test.soe.ucsc.edu) in published links or URLs.</p>
+You are free to use all graphics produced by this website in your published work or on other websites, there
+is no need to contact us to request permission, see the <a href="/license/">license page</a> for details.
+But the UCSC Genome Browser is exclusively funded by NIH and if research articles do 
+not cite or mention us, we cannot report the citations and it is harder for NIH to justify funding one of the 
+few long-term and stable resources in genomics.
+</p>

 <p>
-We ask that authors cite our latest database update <a href="goldenPath/pubs.html">publications</a>
-alongside any specific tools used as described below.
-For an extended list of publications produced by the UCSC Genome Browser group, see our 
-<a href="goldenPath/pubs.html">Publications</a> page.  It is worth noting that as of
-April 1, 2020, Genome Browser papers have been cited 37,500 times in the literature.  We
-thank authors for the acknowledgement of our efforts.</p>
+So you can do us a great favor if you cite the most recent NAR paper, the one
+at the top of this <a
+href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=%28%28UCSC+Genome+Browser%5BTitle%5D%29+AND+%28update%5BTitle%5D+OR+updates%5BTitle%5D%29+AND+%22Nucleic+acids+research%22%5BJournal%5D%29+NOT+ENCODE%5BTitle%5D&sort=date&size=100>"PubMed
+search.</a>.  At the moment, the most recent paper has the PMID 36420891 and
+the DOI 10.1093/nar/gkac1072.  In addition, you can include a reference to the Genome 
+Browser website in your manuscript: <a href="index.html" 
+target="_blank">http://genome.ucsc.edu</a> or mention in the text that you used the "UCSC Genome Browser". 
+To cite just one of our computational tools, see the <a href="#ref">reference section</a> below.
+</p>
+
+<p>While doing this, you can check if the genome coordinates in your paper are
+clear to the readers and if you specified the genome assembly that you used.
+One cannot mention the genome assembly too often. Computational
+biologists will appreciate if your supplemental files with genome annotations
+include the genome assembly identifier directly in the file name. We try to
+keep the identifiers short, currently they are "hg19" and "hg38". In a similar
+vein, references to nucleotides ideally have the full chromosome position in
+your publication text somewhere or in a supplemental table, and not only the
+position on the transcript and or coding sequence, as transcript models can
+change a lot.
+</p>
+
+<p>To make this even easier, when refering to a gene or genomic location, you can 
+use the menu <a href="../cgi-bin/hgSession">"My Data &gt; My Sessions"</a>, to
+generate a short, stable link to your current genome browser view for your
+publication. In this way, readers can jump from your publication to this
+genome location and get their view configured for your particular message.
+You can even add your own annotations to the UCSC Genome Browser, either as
+very simple text labels, by pasting a line like "chr1 1 1000 my_annotation"
+into the box found under <a href="../cgi-bin/hgCustom">"My Data &gt; Custom
+Tracks"</a> or by loading all genomics results into the browser via Track Hubs.
