John, Carnë, and anyone else who regularly writes academic papers,
What should the citation() function return for Octave 4.0? The current
text of the file is:
-- CITATION --
To cite GNU Octave in publications use:
John W. Eaton, David Bateman, Søren Hauberg, Rik Wehbring (2014).
GNU Octave version 3.8.1 manual: a high-level interactive language for
numerical computations.
CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. ISBN 1441413006,
URL http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/
A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is:
@book{,
author = {John W. Eaton, David Bateman, S\oren Hauberg, and Rik
Wehbring},
title = {{GNU Octave} version 3.8.1 manual: a high-level
interactive language for numerical computations},
publisher = {CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform},
year = {2014},
note = {{ISBN} 1441413006},
url = {http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter},
}
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating GNU Octave, please
cite it
when using it. See also `citation pkgname' for citing Octave packages.
-- End CITATION --
This is clearly not right, but just changing the version to 4.0.0 isn't
going to make the ISBN number correct. Should we drop the publisher and
note fields entirely?
