What problem does this feature solve?

I have used vue (and also nuxt) to create a web application for my thesis. I looked for how I should cite vue but I could not find an awnser with my search? How should I cite vuejs? A bibtex entry would be really appreciated.

What does the proposed API look like?

Not applicable

I'm not sure myself but this seems relevant: https://libguides.mit.edu/c.php?g=551454&p=3900280

So, it would be

Vue.js developers. (2014). Vue.js -- The Progressive JavaScript Framework v3.0. [Online]. Available https://vuejs.org/guide/introduction.html, access on: 29 December 2022

or what?

Would be good to have some guidance by the developers here.

Hi,

In all of package.json files, I could find Evan You in the field of author. Is it ok to only list him as the author? https://github.com/vuejs/core/blob/3b02c27e6d30d9f27210c0e76bc22619eb8bc86d/packages/vue/package.json#L77

Would be good to have some guidance by the developers here.

That presumes that we as the developers have any experience and authority in the field of how to cite an open source project in an academic paper.

I certainly don't, I'd presume many other don't, either.

Yes of course you're the authority to tell us how did want to be cited. Who else could tell us?

If you don't tell us, people come up with their own solutions how to cite you, it don't cite you at all.

Some examples:

• https://networkx.org/documentation/networkx-1.10/reference/citing.html
• https://seaborn.pydata.org/citing.html
• https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ggplot2/citation.html

Those are good references, thanks.

Then again, all of these are pointing to actual publications in journals or to books (We don't have those).

Yet these are citation "templates" are used when citing a software project as a whole because someone used the software for their paper in some way?

So when someone used Seaborn, the software, the citation points to some Journal? Is that common? could we say just point to our docs website? is that still an academically valid citation? I have no idea.

So yeah we are the authority on how we want to be cited, I just don't know what the expectations for a "valid" scientific citation of Open Source software are or where to look something like that up. I guess it helps no-one if we think up a preferred citation form that universities would commonly reject?
