I wanted to ask how to cite python packages into a scientific article.

I used a code package for my project and I can not find a scientific publication of the package I used. Exist a standard to cite this type of informatic tools, or a standard way to cite a github page?

In my case I'm using python and in the python packages page (for example) they don't say how this should be cited.

Thanks a lot!

  • Are you sure the package you are citing will still exist in 10 years? – markvs May 21 '22 at 15:49

    @markvs Not OP, but I don't see why not. The v1 release was 10 years ago after all. Whether it'll be maintained in 10 years time is a different question. – Anyon May 21 '22 at 15:52
  • That is what I had in mind. If the software is not maintained, the reference does not make much sense. It is easier to just acknowledge: "This project was conducted using made by <...>" – markvs May 21 '22 at 15:55
