octave: Citing Octave in Publications

 
 Citing Octave in Publications
 =============================
 
 In view of the many contributions made by numerous developers over many
 years it is common courtesy to cite Octave in publications when it has
 been used during the course of research or the preparation of figures.
 The ‘citation’ function can automatically generate a recommended
 citation text for Octave or any of its packages.  See the help text
 below on how to use ‘citation’.
 
  -- : citation
  -- : citation PACKAGE
      Display instructions for citing GNU Octave or its packages in
      publications.
 
      When called without an argument, display information on how to cite
      the core GNU Octave system.
 
      When given a package name PACKAGE, display information on citing
      the specific named package.  Note that some packages may not yet
      have instructions on how to cite them.
 
      The GNU Octave developers and its active community of package
      authors have invested a lot of time and effort in creating GNU
      Octave as it is today.  Please give credit where credit is due and
      cite GNU Octave and its packages when you use them.
