Add citations file

to make research papers easier, etc.

I can do this! Would I just need to add a CITATION.cff file to the repository?

[mr-tz]

Yes, I'd follow this documentation https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-citation-files

[JCoonradt]

Great, thank you that is very helpful! Who should I put down as the authors, as this is an open-source program? Also, do we have those authors' Orcid IDs? I think the Orcid ID part is optional, so I just need the authors' names.

[mr-tz]

I suggest:

• name: "The FLARE Team"

Or we could list the core team by name?

Thanks for the help! I will add the citation file under the name "The Flare Team" tonight!

[Atlas-64]

@mr-tz where can I find the the relevant info for the core team or would just "The FLARE Team" suffice for the citation

[Atlas-64]

@mr-tz @williballenthin have made a PR update with a CITATION.cff please review and comment on any changes if possible.
