It's listed in the FAQ in the docs:

http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/faq/index.html#how-do-i-cite-yt

As well as in the "About yt" section of the docs:

http://yt-project.org/docs/dev/about/index.html#how-do-i-cite-yt

And the CITATION file: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/src/yt/CITATION That said having it on the website as well is a good idea.

I agree that this is a good idea to list prominently. Also note that ApJ now has the \software{} tag in AASTeX 6.x, which can be used to cite software in papers.

Hi yt-users,

It is possible that I am just missing it, but I think it would be useful to have on the front page how you would like yt to be cited. Particularly if there is some descriptive phrase that should be used to describe yt in the intro/referencing sentence.

For example, "If you do use yt, please, when you reference yt in your paper, write: "yt is a python package for analyzing and visualizing volumetric, multi-resolution data from astrophysical simulations and observations (Turk et al. 2011)." "

I would put the phrase of choice directly at the top of the "Get yt" section.

Just a thought to make life easy and well-referenced!

Best, Stephanie
