radiospectra DOI

How to get a citation#

Rather than copying a citation by hand, we recommend exporting it from one of the following, so that the author list, version, year, and DOI always match the release you used:

  • Zenodo — open the Zenodo record, select the specific version, and use the Export options (BibTeX, CSL, DataCite, and others) in the sidebar.

  • GitHub — on the repository page, use the Cite this repository button, which generates APA or BibTeX from the CITATION.cff file.

The CITATION.cff file in the root of the repository contains the citation metadata in machine-readable form.

Example BibTeX#

The entry below is provided only to illustrate the format. Please obtain the authoritative, version-specific entry from Zenodo or GitHub as described above:

@software{radiospectra,

  doi       = {10.5281/zenodo.10733996},
