                        Add support for citing software
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have support for exporting citations from the /works/ aspect, which works mostly fine for journal articles and somewhat for books: https://scholia.toolforge.org/work/Q21146099/export
We currently do not have an equivalent for the /software/ aspect, i.e. https://scholia.toolforge.org/software/Q60565843/export does at present not yield anything.
Describe the solution you'd like Pages of the format https://scholia.toolforge.org/software/{QID}/export should provide information suitable for citing software. Ideally, this would
- improve on the rather scarce information available for software items via the export from the /work/ aspect, e.g. https://scholia.toolforge.org/work/Q60565843/export
 - be compatible with the Software Citation Principles, as per https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj-cs.214
 
Additional context
Design the workflow such that it can
- be readily extended to other research outputs, e.g. data or material resources
 - take into account versioning of the cited resource (as well as identifiers of Wikidata dumps)
 - display preferred/ canonical citations (e.g. journal articles describing software) next to the citation of the software itself
 - provide the citation in a variety of
- citation formats, including
- those already supported by Citation.js — (BibTeX, CFF), BibLaTeX, RIS
 - Formats yet to be implemented: RefWorks, EndNote .enw, Wikimedia cite templates
 
 
 - citation formats, including
 
Turns out this is essentially a duplicate of #1594 .
@Daniel-Mietchen, did https://github.com/WDscholia/scholia/pull/1996 implement the full idea? If so, can this issue be closed?
@egonw I think we can close this one because it is a duplicate. I'll leave the other open and comment there on things yet to be done.
