What a fantastic question! I have no idea! I googled for "how to cite programming language" and found these: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15688758/r-stats-citation-for-a-scientific-paper http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2015/01/how-to-cite-software-in-apa-style.html I ran "citation()" in my copy of R and got this: > citation() To cite R in publications use: R Core Team (2014). R: A language and environment for statistical computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria. 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 Core Team}}, organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing}, address = {Vienna, Austria}, year = {2014}, 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. So using this as a template, I would use: Python Core Team (2015). Python: A dynamic, open source programming language. Python Software Foundation.
