# Cite
Simply credit others' Nodes. Readers of a Node are able to get a [fine-grained](/technical-background/open-state-repository/pid.md), formatted citation to any component of that Node. Export formats currently include: BibTex; DataCite; APA; and MLA.

Access the right hand navigation panel - if it's not open, click on the little icon at the top right hand corner to open it. You will see a tab with **Cite** at the top left of this panel, . Click here to open up the citation creator.
