Citing this library

I am working on some reports/papers that will need to cite this package, we should come up with some strategy for this… my current plan:

@Misc{clifford_python,
author =   "{The Pygae Team}",
title =    {clifford: Numerical geometric algebra module for python},
howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/pygae/clifford}}
}

Any opinions?

That looks reasonable. Another trend that I’m seeing lately is people archiving significant releases to zenodo, figshare, etc. (For my money, zenodo is the clear winner, as it’s got long-term funding from the EU, and is basically part of CERN, which will need massive storage and usability for decades. Plus it’s free. I’ve uploaded ~7TB of data to zenodo, and it’s working great. There’s a github guide for it here.) The main benefit is that it provides a DOI and an archival copy of the exact code you’re citing. I’m not saying github’s new ownership is necessarily gonna send things the way of the Zune, but stranger things have happened.

We are up on zenodo 😃 and I’ll go with this for now

@misc{clifford_python_v101, 
title={pygae/clifford: v1.0.1}, 
DOI={10.5281/zenodo.1453979}, 
abstractNote={Numerical geometric algebra module for python}, 
publisher={Zenodo},
author={Alex Arsenovic and Hugo Hadfield and Robert Kern and {The Pygae Team}}, 
year={2018}, month={Oct}}
