 Citing IPython
================

If IPython been significant to a project that leads to an academic publication,
please acknowledge that fact by citing the project.  As of now, the canonical
academic reference for IPython is `this paper
<http://fperez.org/papers/ipython07_pe-gr_cise.pdf>`_, for which here are both
a BibTex and a plaintext reference you can use::

    @Article{PER-GRA:2007,
      Author    = {P\'erez, Fernando and Granger, Brian E.},
      Title     = {{IP}ython: a System for Interactive Scientific Computing},
      Journal   = {Computing in Science and Engineering},
      Volume    = {9},
      Number    = {3},
      Pages     = {21--29},
      month     = may,
      year      = 2007,
      url       = "http://ipython.org",
      ISSN      = "1521-9615",
      doi       = {10.1109/MCSE.2007.53},
      publisher = {IEEE Computer Society},
    }

or in plaintext:

    Fernando Pérez, Brian E. Granger, *IPython: A System for Interactive
    Scientific Computing*, Computing in Science and Engineering, vol. 9, no. 3,
    pp. 21-29, May/June 2007, doi:10.1109/MCSE.2007.53. URL: http://ipython.org

Thank you!
