Description (last modified by )
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.

Technically, that BibTeX entry is for the R manual, not for R itself. We haven't got an ISBN for our manual, because we've never tried to formally print and publish it.
Accepting as a reasonable addition to the FAQ.
