Gnuplot BibTeX citation

Question

OK, this is not a proper programming question, but maybe the answer will help others. I've been trying to find a suitable BibTeX entry for gnuplot, to include in a scientific publication. I just don't want to cite any guide book, but the actual software.

Does anyone have an idea, or ever used that? I was hoping to find something similar to the citation() command in R. Thank you!

Answer 1

There is no prescribed form to cite Gnuplot so there is no command like cite(). But earlier, I have also met the problem and find a so-so standard biblatex enytry form:

@Misc{ gnuplot ,                    
author={ Thomas Williams and Colin Kelley and {many others} },                
title={ Gnuplot 4.6: an interactive plotting program },                    
month={ April },                    
year={ 2013 },                    
howpublished={ \url{http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/} }                    
}
