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. Each methodology version bump gets a Zenodo DOI auto-published per the §sprint3-zenodo-doi-pipeline wave (queued).

Fonteum Research. (2026). Methodology release v[VERSION]: [SOURCE_ID] [Dataset]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/[DOI]

Fonteum Research. Methodology release v[VERSION]: [SOURCE_ID]. Zenodo. 2026. doi:[DOI]

@misc{fonteum_methodology_2026,
  author = {Fonteum Research},
  title  = {Methodology release v[VERSION]: [SOURCE_ID]},
  year   = {2026},
  doi    = {[DOI]},
  url    = {https://doi.org/[DOI]}
}

Find the DOI for a specific methodology version on /methodology/changelog (each entry with a published DOI shows the citation snippet inline). Reference also /docs/methodology-doi for citation policy details.

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.
