Kinda annoying that #PlatformIO apparently has nothing out there that is properly citable. Don't they want credit? 🤨
♾️ Water@nobodyinperson As a non academic, I can't see the problem. They have a normal website with docs and github repos. Like most github repos, there are no CITATION files. What's missing? Permalinks?
@hisold Citing a plain website or GitHub repo is kinda unprofessional. Many widespead software packages have a publication that is well citable, e.g. #sympy has this one with a proper DOI: https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-cs.103, same for #numpy, #scipy, #matplotlib, etc. Some have at least a #Zenodo entry (with a DOI) to be properly citable. #PlatformIO apparently has none of those.
SymPy: symbolic computing in Python
SymPy is an open source computer algebra system written in pure Python. It is built with a focus on extensibility and ease of use, through both interactive and programmatic applications. These characteristics have led SymPy to become a popular symbolic library for the scientific Python ecosystem. This paper presents the architecture of SymPy, a description of its features, and a discussion of select submodules. The supplementary material provide additional examples and further outline details of the architecture and features of SymPy.
@nobodyinperson Gdal for example, has a DOI and bibtex in their github repo because it has many connections to academia. It's relevant for all fields beginning with geo.
Most open source projects just don't think about this at all and I wouldn't either. There probably just isn't anyone involved in academia working on PlattformIO.
