Citing BTK ?

[thuiop]

Currently, as BTK has no associated paper, there is no proper way to cite it in a paper.

It seems that Github added support for citing softwares very recently, by putting a file containing the info at the root of the repo, which activates a button which can be clicked to get citation in several formats (currently only BibTeX and APA though). This may be an interesting feature for us ? Here is the doc for the citation file https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/creating-a-repository-on-github/about-citation-files and an example of a repo with the feature (on the right in the About section) https://github.com/jhrmnn/deepqmc.

What do you think ? If you know another way to do this, we can also discuss it there.

Perhaps a short BTK DESC paper? Options:

• JOSS ?
• Astronomy and Computing.
• MNRAS

Another Possibility: Astronomy and Computing. GalSim was published in this journal.

I removed it from the v1.0 milestone since we said we would try to publish something once the v1.0 is out.
