If you're writing a paper, it's important to acknowledge the software engineers who make your scientific contributions possible.
For software and packages, I've found it much harder to find BibTeX citations I can simply copy-paste into my references.bib than it is for papers.
Hopefully this repository will be the first step towards making that easier.
I'm using this page to collect the most official citations I can find for common (machine learning) Python packages. If you spot a mistake or know of another citation that you think should be on this page, please open an issue or PR!
Bit of discussion around this online (see this StackOverflow thread). The following is based on this email by Steven D'Aprano.
@manual{python,
title={{Python: A dynamic, open source programming language}},
author={{Python Core Team}},
organization={{Python Software Foundation}},
year={2019},
url={https://www.python.org/},
}It may also be a good idea to add the specific version of Python, for example for 3.7:
@manual{python37,
title={{Python: A dynamic, open source programming language}},
author={{Python Core Team}},
organization={{Python Software Foundation}},
year={2019},
url={https://www.python.org/},
note={Python version 3.7}
}Packages are listed alphabetically. If this list grows too long, maybe we can add categories.
