how to cite ?

[fchapoton]

Maybe the README could contain a section on "how to cite" the package ? a copy-pastable bibtex entry maybe ?

Possible inspiration can be found in

https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/faq/faq-general.html#i-want-to-cite-sage-in-a-publication-how-do-i-do-it

Something like

@manual{ore_algebra,
    label        = {Ore},
    author       = {M. Kauers, M. Mezzarobba et alii},
    title        = {ore_algebra package for SageMath},
    url          = {https://github.com/mkauers/ore_algebra},
    version      = {0.5},
    year         = {2024},
}

For the proposed articles to cite:

@InCollection{zbMATH06585202,
 Author = {Kauers, Manuel and Jaroschek, Maximilian and Johansson, Fredrik},
 Title = {Ore polynomials in {Sage}},
 BookTitle = {Computer algebra and polynomials. Applications of algebra and number theory},
 ISBN = {978-3-319-15080-2},
 Pages = {105--125},
 Year = {2015},
 Publisher = {Berlin: Springer},
 Language = {English},
 DOI = {10.1007/978-3-319-15081-9_6},
 Keywords = {16Z05,16S36,68W30},
 zbMATH = {6585202},
 Zbl = {1439.16049}
}

and

@misc{mezzarobba2016rigorousmultipleprecisionevaluationdfinite,
      title={Rigorous Multiple-Precision Evaluation of D-Finite Functions in SageMath}, 
      author={Marc Mezzarobba},
      year={2016},
      eprint={1607.01967},
      archivePrefix={arXiv},
      primaryClass={cs.SC},
      url={https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.01967}, 
}

maybe there is a better way in the spirit of

Fwiw, I usually cite https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-15081-9_6 and/or https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.01967 depending which parts of the package I am using.
