I just came back from a bioinformatics workshop: I was suprised by the
amound of people using matplotlib to display results.
I think it wouldn't be too hard to gather images and published them on
matplotlib's website if the authors are OK with it. Also, in cancer
research, publications and/or plots are often available publicly.
I don't think citations would be as efficient: I personnally wouldn't
bother looking at those.
Here is an example on circos' website of how they advertise the use of
their plotting library in research: http://circos.ca/intro/published_images/
