Accurately citing the hardware used in your research is crucial for ensuring reproducibility and providing transparency regarding your experimental setup and methods. Furthermore, it significantly assists us in maintaining our comprehensive database of EyeLink publications. Below, we've outlined the current (7th edition) APA guidelines for citing hardware and provided specific examples for referencing SR Research EyeLink products in both the in-text citations and the reference section of your research papers. The "Year" provided for each example corresponds to the correct release year of the respective system. Please ensure you include the URL in your reference entries. We also recommend including the version of the Host PC software in your text body.
  • APA Guidelines for Referencing Hardware:
    Author. (Year). Name of apparatus (Model #) [Apparatus]. Publisher. URL.
Examples in Reference section: Example Citations in Body Text / Methods Section:
  • Gaze was recorded monocularly at 1000 Hz with a desktop mounted EyeLink 1000 Plus (SR Research Ltd., 2015) running version 5.50 of the Host Software.
  • Gaze and pupil size were recorded binocularly at 1000 Hz by an EyeLink Portable Duo (SR Research Ltd., 2016) running version 6.12 of the Host Software.
