Gnuplot BibTeX citation


OK, this is not a proper programming question, but maybe the answer will help others. I've been trying to find a suitable BibTeX entry for gnuplot, to include in a scientific publication. I just don't want to cite any guide book, but the actual software.

Does anyone have an idea, or ever used that? I was hoping to find something similar to the citation() command in R. Thank you!


Solution

  • There is no prescribed form to cite Gnuplot so there is no command like cite(). But earlier, I have also met the problem and find a so-so standard biblatex enytry form:

    @Misc{ gnuplot ,                    
    author={ Thomas Williams and Colin Kelley and {many others} },                
    title={ Gnuplot 4.6: an interactive plotting program },                    
    month={ April },                    
    year={ 2013 },                    
    howpublished={ \url{http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/} }                    
    }
