Cite Fonteum. Three formats. One requirement.

For any publication that uses the Fonteum API.

Fonteum Research. (2026). Healthcare Provider Data Infrastructure [Dataset]. https://fonteum.com. Accessed [DATE].

Fonteum Research. Healthcare Provider Data Infrastructure. fonteum.com. Published 2026. Accessed [DATE].

@misc{fonteum2026,
  author = {Fonteum Research},
  title  = {Healthcare Provider Data Infrastructure},
  year   = {2026},
  note   = {Dataset},
  url    = {https://fonteum.com},
  urldate = {YYYY-MM-DD}
}

Replace [DATE]with the access date in your citation style’s preferred format (typically YYYY-MM-DD).

For papers that need version-specific reproducibility.

When your paper’s reproducibility depends on the exact Fonteum methodology version that produced the data you used, cite the methodology release directly. Every version bump is dated and logged in the public changelog, and each snapshot is SHA-256 attested in the public chain.

Fonteum Research. (2026). Methodology release v[VERSION]: [SOURCE_ID] [Dataset]. https://fonteum.com/methodology

Fonteum Research. Methodology release v[VERSION]: [SOURCE_ID]. 2026. https://fonteum.com/methodology

@misc{fonteum_methodology_2026,
  author = {Fonteum Research},
  title  = {Methodology release v[VERSION]: [SOURCE_ID]},
  year   = {2026},
  url    = {https://fonteum.com/methodology},
  urldate = {YYYY-MM-DD}
}

Find the exact version and date for a methodology release on /methodology/changelog and verify the snapshot that produced your data against the public attestation chain.

For specific Fonteum research outputs.

When citing one of the published research studies on /research (e.g., a dermatology access density study), use the citation block on the study’s own page. Each study’s citation includes the study slug + version + access date.

Citation TOS is part of the researcher API signup.

Researchers accept the citation TOS at signup time (an explicit checkbox; the version is recorded on the api_keys row as citation_tos_version). No retroactive enforcement; no bot-driven takedowns. The model relies on academic norms and the standard expectation that funded research cites its data sources.

If you’re an institutional consumer (paid tier), the citation requirement is a courtesy ask rather than a TOS condition. We still appreciate it.
