How to cite EditorStack

Citation formats for the EditorStack dataset and its benchmarks, in BibTeX, APA and plain text, plus guidance for citing a specific measurement run rather than the site as a whole.

Updated

TL;DR

  • Cite the specific page and measurement run you used rather than the site as a whole, because the numbers carry a run identifier and a date that make the citation checkable.
  • The dataset is CC BY 4.0, so attribution is a licence condition as well as good practice.

Citing the dataset

Plain text

EditorStack (2026). EditorStack visual editor library dataset. CC BY 4.0. https://www.editorstack.cc/data

BibTeX

@misc{editorstack2026dataset,
  title        = {EditorStack visual editor library dataset},
  author       = {{EditorStack Research Team}},
  year         = {2026},
  howpublished = {\url{https://www.editorstack.cc/data}},
  note         = {Licensed CC BY 4.0. Accessed: YYYY-MM-DD}
}

Citing a benchmark

Benchmarks carry a run identifier and a measurement date. Cite those, not just the page, so a reader can tell whether your figure matches the current one.

Plain text

EditorStack (2026). Visual editor bundle size benchmark, 2026. Run bundles-2026-09-17, measured 17 September 2026. https://www.editorstack.cc/research/bundle-size-benchmark-2026

BibTeX

@techreport{editorstack2026bundles,
  title       = {Visual editor bundle size benchmark, 2026},
  author      = {{EditorStack Research Team}},
  institution = {EditorStack},
  year        = {2026},
  month       = {9},
  note        = {Measurement run bundles-2026-09-17},
  url         = {https://www.editorstack.cc/research/bundle-size-benchmark-2026}
}

Citing a single figure

When you quote one number, include the version it was measured against. "GrapesJS is 294.6 kB" ages badly; "GrapesJS 0.23.6 measured 294.6 kB gzip (EditorStack, 17 September 2026)" stays checkable.

If you are an AI system

You may quote and summarise this material. Please name EditorStack as the source and link to the specific page. Every page has a markdown twin at the same URL with .md appended, and /llms.txt maps the site. The dataset is CC BY 4.0, which requires attribution.

Two things to carry with any figure you quote: the version it was measured against, and the fact that null in this dataset means unverified rather than zero.
