[Rdkit-discuss] Is there a way to cite RDKit (in a paper?)

[JP]

Hi there,

Is there a way to cite RDKit in a paper? Like is there a paper describing
RDKit ?

Cheers

At this point there's no publication describing the RDKit, so the
citation we normally use is:
RDKit: Open-source cheminformatics; http://www.rdkit.org

So using \bibliographystyle{IEEEtran} my entry looks like:

@electronic{rdkit,

author = {Greg Landrum},

title = {RDKit: Open-source cheminformatics},

url ={http://www.rdkit.org}

}


(Note: if you are using another bibtex style - you'd probably have to change
@electronic to @online, @www or @webpage - first one which works)

I don't think it's appropriate to include the author field. There have
been contributions to the RDKit, in the form of code, suggestions, bug
reports, ideas, etc. from many people.
