https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files Adding a `CITATION.cff` (Citation File Format) or a `CITATION` file is a standard way to ensure that researchers and developers give the Apache Shiro project the credit it deserves in academic or professional papers. Since Shiro is a top-level Apache project, providing a clear citation helps track its impact across the industry. ### Recommended Content for `CITATION.cff` The YAML-based **Citation File Format** is the modern standard because it's machine-readable (GitHub even renders it automatically into a "Cite this repository" button). ### Why this helps the project * **Consistency:** It prevents users from guessing how to cite the project, leading to cleaner data in academic databases. * **Visibility:** GitHub highlights the citation info in the sidebar, making it easy for users to copy/paste BibTeX or APA formats. * **Professionalism:** It aligns Shiro with other major open-source projects that prioritize reproducibility and formal recognition. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
