How to cite Vahtian
If a Vahtian tool was part of how you searched, screened, extracted, or checked citations, please cite the specific tool you used in your methods and references. It keeps the workflow auditable — which is the whole point.
Author: Heidi Helena Andersén (ORCID 0000-0001-5923-5865). Citations use stable page URLs; archival Zenodo DOIs may be added later.
Recommended format
Software citation — author, year, tool, version, publisher, and a persistent link:
Andersén, H. H. (2026). <Tool> (Version <x.y>) [Computer software]. Vahtian. https://vahtian.com/<tool>/
Once a Zenodo DOI exists, replace the URL with https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.XXXXX — a DOI is archival and versioned, which reviewers prefer over a plain URL.
Per-tool citations
Replace year/version as appropriate. URLs are stable; DOIs to follow.

MatchVahti (the full app) is a separate product — cite it by name and the page you used; it has no public archive.
