Citing ICAT

[Andrew GOETZ]

Dear All,

we are writing an article on DRAC and would like to cite ICAT. I have found the following two possible citations:

(1) D. Flannery et al., "ICAT: Integrating Data Infrastructure for Facilities Based Science," 2009 Fifth IEEE International Conference on e-Science, Oxford, UK, 2009, pp. 201-207, doi: 10.1109/e-Science.2009.36.

(2) Collaboration, T. I. C. A. T. (2014). The ICAT Project. The ICAT Collaboration. https://doi.org/10.5286/SOFTWARE/ICAT

Which one should we use or should we cite both?

All help appreciated.

Andy

Hi Andy, 

The first is the original ICAT paper, which is the one cited most, while the second is the DOI for the software itself.   Probably use both for different purposes. 

Thanks

Brian

Otherwise, one could chose to cite the most recent somewhat
comprehensive publication:

+ A. Götz et al (2024). Extending the ICAT Metadata Catalogue to New
Scientific Use Cases. ICALEPCS 2023.
doi:10.18429/JACoW-ICALEPCS2023-WE3BCO07

That is what I did for my NOBUGS poster.

Best regards,
Rolf

Rolf,

good idea! We have included that reference too. It contains a good
overview of the current solution..
