  Hi there!
  We built our website to be used as a part of our thesis project and were wondering if we needed to cite WordPress in our papers? And if so, what is the appropriate citation?
  Thank you!

  Site: https://exploreourtrees.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there!

  Thanks for reaching out! I reached out to our legal department to make sure and they said that no citation needed from a legal or academic point of view.

  However we wouldn’t say no to a shoutout or thanks for hosting the site! :)

  Good luck with your thesis!
