When you finish your data analysis and its visualization, you need to publish your data to share the results. Cytoscape has several options to do it.

As Session File

The easiest way to share your results with others is simply send the session file. You can save everything in one zipped archive file by clicking Save Session icon.

Cytoscape can generate publication-quality images from the network views. By selecting File → Export → Network View as Graphics... you can export the current network view into the following files:

We recommend to to use PDF for publications because it is the standard vector graphics format and is easy to edit in other applications such as Adobe Illustrator.

Known Issues

For PDF export, there is an option to Export Texts as Fonts. This option does not work for two-byte characters such as Chinese or Japanese letters. To avoid corrupted texts in your publication, please uncheck this option when you publish networks including those non-English characters.

As Interactive Web Applications (New in 3.2.0)

These days, web is the platform data sharing and collaboration. Since version 3.1.0, Cytoscape has Export as Cytoscape.js JSON feature for publishing your data as browser-based visualization. However, the main target of the feature was developers because users have to write some code to set up their web pages to visualize the JSON files with Cytoscape.js. It provides maximum flexibility to people who has JavaScript programming experience, but it was not for end-users. To deliver the versatility of web based visualizations, we have developed a new feature, Export sa Interactive Web Visualization, which is a one-click option to create your own web based visualization from your Cytoscape session.
