| Mar 27, 2019 at 6:18 | comment | added | Aaron Bramson | Okay, you can cite that technical report, but did you actually read that technical report? Probably not. I used python, and I'd like to cite it, but it's bad practice to cite papers/documents that you haven't actually read. I want to cite the programming language and the packages I used, not papers about them. In consideration of this, the first option seems better. | |

To add on Latex, It was done the following way, can be improved.... @Techreport{CS-R9526, title= {Python tutorial}, author = {G. van Rossum}, number={CS-R9526}, institution= {Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI)}, year= {1995}, address={Amsterdam}, month={May} } and the output is: G. van Rossum. Python tutorial. Technical Report CS-R9526, Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam, May 1995.

| Apr 18, 2017 at 14:52 | comment | added | Bas Jansen | +1 for the second suggestion as I have always cited every bit of software that way, and I hope people that use my software would do the same. This is especially true for the more specialized libraries such as NumPy, SciPy and matplotlib for which I can share how I normally reference them if desired. | |
| Nov 27, 2012 at 16:51 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | +1 although I usually cite software as … software. It’s a publication, after all. Many citation managers might not recognise this as a citation type but the reason for this is that they’re stuck in the previous millenium, nothing more. | |
