Not too much but I think the same. Each module needs to come with its own "How to cite" section which could be autogenerated if not already present in the HTML page. > Many modules (in core or in > addons) have associated paper.

I suggest to manually add the respective citation only where appropriate, otherwise (in most cases) autogenerate it. Where it doesn't fit then, it could be manually overridden. > Should we have a ticket to track this? Yes.
