Please include a citation for the specific sliderule version used to prepare your data products, replacing the X.Y.Z version number below:

We recommend that you document the key processing parameters used for custom ATL06-SR product generation (e.g., segment length, step size, photon classification used, etc.) in your methods section. Better yet, release your documented, reproducible open code/notebooks, including the full SlideRule API call used to prepare the data!
In the future, we hope to bundle improved metadata with products returned by SlideRule, for improved reproducibility and data provenance.
