How to cite a specific photo
If you want to reference a specific photo from Lingscape, e.g., for caption texts in publications, the best way is to use the unique “photo ID”. You can find the respective ID for a photo in the public image repository (column ID) and in the photo details on the public web map. Should the image belong to a specific project, you can also add the project name and person responsible after the image ID. We suggest to use the following pattern:
Lingscape, ID XXXXX, [project, (project manager)], https://lingscape-app.uni.lu
