So I’ve been extensively using MATLAB recently and while writing a paper had to cite it. Simple thing, no? The whole problem is that MATLAB is a software (@electronic, right?), but it is a corporate publisher, with specified version. So one would expect an output like
Where
Done. In a very similar manner, I also learned how to cite NS-2
[1] MATLAB version 7.10.0. Natick, Massachusetts: The MathWorks Inc., 2010.Where
- Title of software: MATLAB
- Version of software: version 7.10.0
- Place of publication: Natick, Massachusetts:
- Publisher: The MathWorks Inc.,
- Year of publication: 2010.
@book{MATLAB:2010,
year = {2010},
author = {MATLAB},
title = {version 7.10.0 (R2010a)},
publisher = {The MathWorks Inc.},
address = {Natick, Massachusetts}
}
Done. In a very similar manner, I also learned how to cite NS-2
Thanks, very useful!
ReplyDeleteyou just saved my life :P...
ReplyDeletethanks a lot!
Thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteThat was so helpful. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, mate
ReplyDeleteIf the software name and version are split between two fields, some bibliography styles will make part of it roman and part italic, which looks bad. Better is the following:
ReplyDelete@manual{MATLAB:2015,
Address = {Natick, Massachusetts},
Organization = {The Mathworks, Inc.},
Title = { MATLAB version 8.5.0.197613 (R2015a)},
Year = {2015}}
how do i find the place of publication? will it be same in every version?
DeleteI'm guessing that, if MATLAB moves, users will hear about it. I checked the above information by Googling "how to cite MATLAB", and Natick, MA seems to be the only response.
DeleteThank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
