From 69e742243d125e057b63d66aa1f91afb44317307 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Akhlaghi Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 18:51:26 +0100 Subject: Added link to citation from GNU Parallel, slightly summarized it Boud previously pointed out that that he couldn't find a reference to the citation, so I added it as a link over "its FAQ" (since its described in its `doc/citation-notice-faq.txt' file). I also removed the first part of the quote which was not really necessary, the heart of the quote is the latter part that still remains. --- paper.tex | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/paper.tex b/paper.tex index dfb79e8..a219791 100644 --- a/paper.tex +++ b/paper.tex @@ -433,7 +433,7 @@ This paper uses basic software without associated scientific papers. For softwar This is particularly important for research software, where citation is critical to justify continued development. A notable example is GNU Parallel \citep{tange18} which prints citation information each time it is run, proposing to either cite the paper or support it with 10000 euros. It provides a \inlinecode{--citation} option to disable the notice. -This is justified by an uncomfortably true statement: ``\emph{history has shown that researchers forget to [cite software] if they are not reminded explicitly. ... If you feel the benefit from using GNU Parallel is too small to warrant a citation, then prove that by simply using another tool}''. +In \href{http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/doc/citation-notice-faq.txt?h=master}{its FAQ} this is justified by ``\emph{If you feel the benefit from using GNU Parallel is too small to warrant a citation, then prove that by simply using another tool}''. Most software does not resort to such drastic measures. However, proper citation is not only useful practically, it is also an ethical imperative. Given the increasing role of software in research \citep{clement19}, automatic citation (as presented here) is a step forward. -- cgit v1.2.1
