[Announce]: biblatex-software, a bibliography style for software artifacts

  • Creator

  • #70973

    Dear all,
    this message is to announce the availability of the *biblatex-software*
    package, that adds support for properly managing software entries in
    bibliographies for BibLaTeX users. You can find it on CTAN at:
    https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/b
    *biblatex-software* introduces four specific bibliographic entries for
    describing respectively *software, software versions, software modules and
    code fragments*, designed by a dedicated task force at Inria composed of
    Pierre Alliez, Benjamin Guedj, Alain Girault, Mohand-Said Hacid, Arnaud
    Legrand, Morane Gruenpeter, Xavier Leroy, Nicolas Rougier and Manuel
    Serrano together with yours truly.
    This is actually a bibliography *style* *extension*, which means that one
    can add support for these four software entry types to any other BibLaTeX
    style used in documents typeset in LaTeX. It requires the Biber backend,
    though, so do not try it with pure BibTeX.
    Full documentation and examples are included in the package, see in
    particular
    – the style documentation

    – an example document using this style

    – an example BibTeX file showcasing the four entries

    Feel free to use this style, and forward this message to anybody interested.
    Contributions are welcome, in particular in the form of localisation
    strings (english and french are already done) on
    https://gitlab.inria.fr/gt-sw-citation/bibtex-sw-entry
    All the best
