Question

How should I cite Miro Software?

A

Dear Miro-community,

I currently write my Master’s thesis and use Miro for visualisations/ mind mapping.

How should I cite Miro?

Also curious if other researchers are using Miro for team work and visualisations?

Thanks!

According to this website (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_electronic_sources.html), you’d use the format: Lastname, F. M. or Name of Group. (Year). Title of software (Version No.). Publisher. URL

Here’s the example they provided: Maplesoft. (2019). Maple companion (Version 2.1.0). Cybernet Systems Co. https://www.maplesoft.com/products/MapleCompanion/

Thanks a lot!

Would this then be how you’d cite it at present? I’m unclear on version histories and who the publisher would be.

Miro©. (2022). Miro Board. Miro Enterprise. Miro.com

Hi Therese,

The process didn't change since my last reply, so the materials should still be shared with and approved by our Head of Communications before citing. I've sent you a DM with the email to which they need to be sent. Hope this helps 🙂

I think you misunderstood the question, Alyona. The question is not “how do I cite something Miro published on their website/blog”. The question is, “how do I reference that I used Miro software in my analysis.”

I had to search an external source to find the corporate information, but I think it would be:

Miro (2022). Miro online whiteboard (no version provided). RealTimeBoard, Inc. www.miro.com.

Hi Alyona, 

 

Can you send me the email address for the Head of Communications as I would like to use an exported Miro image in a piece of research

Best wishes,

Hi @Alyona, do you have a second and can you send the mailadress to me, too?
