As I'm understanding Gabriela, Tim is right. She needs the information for a citation for Gnumeric itself. She supplied the corresponding information for R to illustrate what she needs (and in a citation style that I'm personally unfamiliar with).
I think what she is most likely missing is an author or organization that is responsible for Gnumeric and another one that publishes it. As I was looking around in her response to her question, I think the Gnome Foundation (if I'm remembering the name right) might be listed as a publisher; sometimes this can also be used in place of the author. > > > On 01/29/2016 06:26 AM, Tim Schofield wrote: >> Ken, I think Gabriela is asking how Gnumeric should be credited in the >> paper they are publishing. >> >> Tim >> >> On 29 January 2016 at 10:59, ken <geb...@mousecar.com> wrote: >>> On 01/28/2016 11:33 AM, Gabriela Hoff wrote: >>>> >>>> Dear Sir or Madam >>>> >>>> I am using R statisitcal tookit and Gnumeric to perform statistical >>>> analysis to a paper and I would like to have the correct citation to >>>> gnumeric in this paper. >>>> I am using the statistical package of the last gnumeric version >>>> available. >>>> >>>> To R I was able to retrieve the infomration: >>>> "[31] R Core Team.
