Cloudflare Radar can now generate citations for your papers!
Hi everyone, it's me! Today I've got a small but handy update for anyone doing research or writing.
Cloudflare Changelog

What was announced?
From Cloudflare's Changelog: Radar shareable widgets now include a generate citation action, making it easier to reference Cloudflare Radar data in research papers and other publications.
The story so far
Until now, if you wanted to cite a Radar chart in a paper, you had to format the reference by hand to match the required style. Small, but a bit of a chore.
What changes
Now you just click the citation icon in the widget's action bar, and you get a clean, ready-to-use citation you can drop straight into your paper or report.
Dive Deep
Selecting the citation icon opens a modal with five supported citation styles:
- BibTeX
- APA
- MLA
- Chicago
- RIS
BibTeX is there for the LaTeX crowd, and RIS is a format that reference managers commonly read. You can try it on any shareable widget over at Cloudflare Radar.
Wrap-up
- Cloudflare Radar shareable widgets gained a generate citation action
- Pick from BibTeX, APA, MLA, Chicago, and RIS right from the citation icon
- No more hand-formatting references when you put Radar data in your work
This one is for researchers who lean on Radar data and writers who like to cite their sources properly.
