Description
Many open source projects have a standard way to cite their use in publications. R has, for example, the citation command:
"""
citation()
To cite R in publications use:
R Development Core Team (2010). R: A language and environment for
statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing,
Vienna, Austria. ISBN 3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org.
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is
@Manual{,
title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
author = {{R Development Core Team}},
organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
address = {Vienna, Austria},
year = {2010},
note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
url = {http://www.R-project.org},
}
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it
when using it for data analysis. See also ‘citation("pkgname")’ for
citing R packages.
"""
It would be nice if Django had a similar command or (and this is the easiest solution) if the FAQ addressed this. This would help academic users of django.
