CiteAs on requirements.txt
This project is hoped to help adress an apparent gap in the open-source and scientific-software landscape. Namely, the lack of an automated method for generating software citations within and/or for scientific software packages. The consequences of this shortcoming have been discussed at length elsewhere (see Citations for some of these publications). With the provison of this capability (or at least this proof of concept), it is hoped that the hurdles to the production of software bibliographies–which would otherwise have to be produced manually–are reduced.
