Nilearn's Research Resource Identifier (RRID) is: RRID:SCR_001362

There is no paper published about nilearn. However, the patterns underlying the package have been described in: Machine learning for neuroimaging with scikit-learn.

A huge amount of work goes into :sklearn:`scikit-learn <>`, upon which nilearn relies heavily. Researchers who invest their time in developing and maintaining the package deserve recognition with citations. In addition, the :inria:`INRIA MIND Project Team <mind>` needs citations to the paper in order to justify paying a software engineer on the project. To guarantee the future of the toolkit, if you use it, please cite it.

See the scikit-learn documentation on :sklearn:`how to cite <about.html#citing-scikit-learn>`.
