Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS citation in the FAQ
Hi Agustin,
in your case, maybe the Geoinformatics article written by the current PSC
members for the QGIS 1.0 release in February this year can be used.
I added the link to the article on the wiki "Journals" page. It would be
great if more people can provide links to other articles about QGIS there. It
wasn't used for quite some time, so maybe we can start/awake the list again.
http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Journals
In my opinion it always depends. If you want to add a reference to the
QGIS project in general I would use:
"Quantum GIS Development Team, (2009). Quantum GIS Geographic Information
System. Open Source Geospatial Foundation Project. http://grass.osgeo.org
but if you prefere to cite from an article, maybe you find something in the
Journals page.
Regards,
Otto

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS citation in the FAQ
I will use waht is provided in the web, but
I think that the best would be having the Quantum GIS Development Team
writing an article with a general description of QGIS basic
characteristics, history and
roadmap. Something equivalent to:
Anselin, Luc, Ibnu Syabri and Youngihn Kho (2006). GeoDa: An
Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis. Geographical Analysis 38 (1), 5-22.
but including the url if possible. This would be the best reference to
be used in an article, as
what the interested reader would search in the reference is a general,
readable description of QGIS.
Also, another example would be R, which has a command citation():
> citation()
To cite R in publications use:
R Development Core Team (2009). 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 = {2009},
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.
This is more on the line of what we have in the faq for qgis. (BTW, I
would move
or copy the citation from the faq to the home page of the web site).
So, animo!
Agus

Should we just write the current year?
I guess it depends on what you want to cite. It would probably make sense to
distinguish. For example the GRASS project offers some ideas, if you just cite
the webpage, or a certain software version or manual.
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Citation_Repository
I can something similar for QGIS if you like. What do others think? The
citation above is just general.
I added a wiki page on basis of the GRASS_Citation_Repository and adapted the
FAQ. Please tell us, if you think something is wrong or missing.
