How do I reference the 'numpy' library

[zhaocheng-hub]

Hello, I have used some methods of 'numpy' library in my academic paper. How should I quote them in my paper?

[mattip]

hmm, maybe it should be mentioned at https://numpy.org/press-kit/ ? cite-bay suggests the 2006 A guide to NumPy book, but I think it would be better to cite the 2020 Nature Methods paper.

The Nature paper is the preferred citation these days.

Information on citing NumPy and SciPy is here: https://www.scipy.org/citing.html#numpy

There probably should be something on numpy.org as well.

Yes, it is here: https://numpy.org/learn/ under Citing NumPy - maybe this should be more obvious/findable?

Maybe it makes more sense in the "About Us" section? Or as a quick access in the bottom?

Or as a quick access in the footer?

we really need unified search across the numpy.org website, or at least I should have tried site:numpy.org citing which points out the "citing" page

I'll add a link in the footer.

It’s the top search on every search engine I could think of even if you don’t specify the website.;)
