How to cite OpenSesame

If you have used OpenSesame for your experiments, we would appreciate it if you cite the following paper:

Mathôt, S., Schreij, D., & Theeuwes, J. (2012). OpenSesame: An open-source, graphical experiment builder for the social sciences. Behavior Research Methods, 44(2), 314-324. doi:10.3758/s13428-011-0168-7

Please note that OpenSesame relies on many modules for which we can take no credit. If you make extensive use of modules such as SciPy/ NumPy, PsychoPy, or Expyriment, please also cite the respective authors.

OpenSesame in publications, theses, conference proceedings, etc.

Despite the project’s young age, references to OpenSesame are starting to appear. Below is a (presumably incomplete) list. If you have used OpenSesame for your work, or discuss the software in your work, please send a message or leave a post on the forum and your reference will be added to the list. All scholarly works are welcome, including theses.
