Technical/Scholarly Publications mentioning Sage
If you use Sage in a book, paper, website, etc., please email me at wstein@gmail.com and reference Sage as follows:
William Stein et al., Sage Mathematics Software (Version 3.4), The Sage Development Team, 2009, http://www.sagemath.org/.
- where you should change the version number and the year to reflect the version of Sage that you used for the publication. To reference Sage using Bibtex, use:
@manual{sage, Key = {SAGE}, Author = {W.\thinspace{}A. Stein and others}, Organization = {The Sage~Development Team}, Title = {{S}age {M}athematics {S}oftware ({V}ersion 3.3)}, note= {{\tt http://www.sagemath.org}}, Year = 2009}
To reference Sage using TeX, use:
\newcommand{\etalchar}[1]{$^{#1}$} \bibitem[S{\etalchar{+}}09]{sage} W.\thinspace{}A. Stein et~al., \emph{{S}age {M}athematics {S}oftware ({V}ersion 3.3)}, The Sage~Development Team, 2009, {\tt http://www.sagemath.org}.
Also, be sure to find out what components of Sage, e.g., Numpy, PARI, GAP, that your calculation uses, and properly attribute those systems (for example, ask on sage-devel). Similarly, consider finding out who wrote the Sage code you're using and acknowledge them explicitly as well.
