 # QIM Notebooks
 
 This repository contains a curated list of Jupyter Notebooks suitable for serveral tasks related to QIM and Image analysis in general. 
+
+# Contribution
+The first cell of the notebook should follow the pattern:
+
+
+```
+# Title of the notebook
+Notebook author: Author name (author@email.dk)
+
+
+Short description paragraph
+
+## Dependencies
+Explain how to install non-standard libraries that are needed for the notebook to run, or point to resources
+
+## Reference this work
+In case the main library used for the notebook is part of a publication, the reference should be inserted here.
+
+```
+
+The reference can be created using the Qim Platform API, that follows this pattern:
+`https://platform.qim.dk/qim-api/reference/<doi address>`
+
+For example, accessing the address https://platform.qim.dk/qim-api/reference/10.1109/CVPRW59228.2023.00456 will give you the markdown text for this particular DOI. It can then be easily copied and pasted into the jupyter notebook.
