Quick Answer

Every page in the atlas carries a copy-ready citation and a stable in-document permalink of the form #/<page-id>, and the whole resource is explicitly versioned (the version and build date appear on the home page and in the footer). Because the version is stamped into every page's citation line, a reference always pins the exact edition a reader saw — so a citation remains unambiguous even after the page is later updated.

Citing a single page

Name the atlas, the page title, the version, the build date, and the permalink. A generic format that works in most contexts:

Nuclear Medicine Atlas. "Page Title." Version X.Y, YYYY-MM-DD. Permalink #/page-id.

For example:

Nuclear Medicine Atlas. "Superscan." v1.6, 2026-07-30. Permalink #/superscan.

The permalink is the fragment after the site origin — for instance __SITEURL__/#/superscan once the atlas is hosted — so a specific page can be linked and returned to directly.

Style-specific formats

If your work uses a formal citation style, adapt the same elements:

Vancouver / AMA — Nuclear Medicine Atlas. Superscan. Version 1.6. Updated 2026-07-30. Available from: SITEURL/#/superscan
APA — Nuclear Medicine Atlas. (2026). Superscan (Version 1.6) [Online reference]. SITEURL/#/superscan
In-text / footnote — Nuclear Medicine Atlas, "Superscan" (v1.6).

Give the version wherever the style allows a version or edition field; it is what makes the citation reproducible.

Citing the atlas as a whole

To cite the resource rather than one page:

Nuclear Medicine Atlas. Version X.Y, YYYY-MM-DD. SITEURL

Why versioning matters here

Medicine changes, and the atlas is maintained continuously — thresholds, approvals, and trial results are revised as the evidence moves. Explicit versioning means a citation is a snapshot: it records the state of a page at a known edition, so a later revision never silently changes what a reader cited. The version is not decorative; it is the mechanism that keeps references honest over time.
