NumPy default citation

Hi, everyone I see that the NumPy homepage does not have a "Citation" section. Furthermore, on scipy.org, the default NumPy citation points to a short summary paper that I wrote with Gael V & Stephen C. While it's a reasonable introduction to three core concepts behind NumPy, attribution should certainly go to Travis & the community. Shall we add a citation to Travis's "Guide to NumPy (2nd ed.)" on both pages? Best regards Stéfan

It's the suggested reference to add to your paper, if you use the NumPy package in your work. Stéfan

Just a thought that popped into my head: It'd be cool with the sci/py/data stack had a convention of <module>.citation so I could look it up w/o leaving my jupyter notebook :) -paul On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 1:29 PM, Stefan van der Walt <stefanv@berkeley.edu> wrote:

There was discussion awhile back of adopting a `__citation__` attribute. Anyone remember what happened with that idea? On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 5:21 PM, Feng Yu <rainwoodman@gmail.com> wrote:

+1 for changing the recommended citation to Guide to NumPy now. I do think that we're kind of wasting those citations though. I'm not an academic, but for those contributors who are, citations of a paper that is indexed (counts towards h-index etc.) can be very important. So probably we should find the time to write a paper, with Travis still as first author but with all core devs & major contributors on it. Ralf
