SymPy's Scientific Impact

[Jason Moore]

There is an article [1] in Nature today that talks about Depsy [2], a new project to measure the impact of scientific software. SymPy shows 58 citations in this system and links to all of the papers. It would be great to add these to our "Papers" page in the docs and/or wiki. I think there is an open issue about improving our links to projects that use SymPy. Something easy to fix for newcomers.

Unless I'm using it wrong, Depsy looks quite poor.  

I tried a search for Mathematica, Lisp, Computer Algebra, Maxima, Macsyma.

about zero citations.  

They are looking for python citations + a few other places, I think.

Or maybe mostly in biology papers??

They are currently restricted to open access publications, which is woefully insufficient.

Also I think only CRAN and PyPI (scroll down to the green part on the
depsy.org front page).

I would only consider it a version 1.0. I did discover a couple of
tools that use SymPy that I didn't know about, which is pretty nice.
I'm glad to see people taking the effort to support
software-as-citations, and hopefully it will improve over time.

Also, like pretty much every tool I've ever seen that scrapes GitHub,
my person page incorrectly guesses the technologies that I know (one
of my tags is "sql"; I've never written a line of sql in my life).

Yes, they have mentioned it the README. The project is very new (it has only been two months since its release) so hopefully they will incorporate other scientific packages in the future. Professor Fateman you should probably file an issue on their issue tracker.
