How to cite Julia in publications?

[Umberto]

This is directed to the Julia core team:

how to properly cite Julia in scientific publications? Any suggested BibTeX entry?

Thanks

Jeff, are we getting an official tech report number for that paper from MIT? That seems like the best way to cite Julia at this point.

Yes, the best way would be to cite the julia paper we just put on the blog. We will soon get a TR number for it, and publish a bibtex entry / how to cite / etc.

Hi,

Are there any updates on this? I just had a paper accepted to SIMUL 2012 (in Lisbon). The paper is about a project I'm doing in Julia and I want to make sure I cite it properly. Currently I have:

@inproceedings{Julia,
    author = "Jeff Bezanzon and Stefan Karpinski and Viral Shah and Alan Edelman",
    booktitle = "Lang.{NEXT}",
    year = "2012",
    month = apr,
    title = "Julia: A Fast Dynamic Language for Technical Computing",
    url = "http://julialang.org/images/lang.next.pdf"
}

I'll share details on my paper soon, when I have time.

Thanks,

Can you guys put it up in the arXiv? Arxiv IDs are in many fields
considered almost as good as DOIs (well, they pretty much *were* the
DOIs in particle physics back in the day, before DOIs existed).

Just a thought...

[Viral Shah]

Good idea. Arxiv is the simplest thing to do. I'll do it right away.

Uploaded to arxiv. Please use that to cite for now.

Tip #2 Put an easy to see link on the site on 'Citing Julia' that
takes people to this, along with a copy-paste ready entry in Bibtex
and Plaintext, e.g.:

http://ipython.org/citing.html

You want to make it as easy as possible for people to cite you, and as
difficult as possible for them to miss the fact that they should :)

Cheers,

Fernando, you are clearly a pro at this :-)

Hey, if I was, I'd be doing better and swimming in funding ;) But at
least I try!

Ultimately, it's just the academic version of Amazon's one-click
patent, the one-click citation. Pander to the stark reality of human
laziness and you shall profit!

Yes, it is time to have a publications section on the website.

One could also - as is done in R - add a citation function
that includes the reference and bibtex entry such that
users can access the information from within Julia
as well.

Best,
Tobias
