Dear Sage-Combinat developers,
New articles citing Sage-Combinat are coming up, so it's way time to
define a standard citation for Sage-Combinat. For effective citation
count, it's best to have a single such citation. On the other hand, we
want to make sure that each developer get appropriate and proportional
credit for his work.
Including all the relevant names in the citation itself would be hard
to maintain, and incompatible with a fixed citation. Instead, one
option would be to:
- have an anonymous main Sage-Combinat citation
- encourage the Sage-Combinat developers to publish articles on
specific features of Sage-Combinat.
- strongly suggest, in the acknowledgement section of a publication,
to cite Sage and Sage-Combinat, and then name explicitly the
developers who worked on the specific features used in the
publication, and/or cite the relevant articles.
Here is a first draft:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This research was driven by computer exploration using the open-source
mathematical software \texttt{Sage}~\cite{Sage} and its algebraic
combinatorics features developed by the \texttt{Sage-Combinat}
community~\cite{Sage-Combinat}, and in particular {{ names and
further citations}}.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where [Sage] is the standard Sage citation (see
http://wiki.sagemath.org/Publications_using_SAGE) and [Sage-Combinat]
is, in BibTeX:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Misc{Sage-Combinat,
Author = {The {S}age-{C}ombinat community},
Title = {{S}age-{C}ombinat: enhancing Sage as a toolbox for computer
exploration in algebraic combinatorics},
note= {{\tt http://combinat.sagemath.org}},
Year = 2008}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course other software used directly or indirectly should be cited
as well, like in:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The pictures have been produced using \texttt{graphviz},
\texttt{dot2tex}, and \texttt{pgf/tikz}.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments? suggestions?
Cheers,
Nicolas
