How to cite pycma #69

Open lucianopaz opened 6 years ago

lucianopaz commented 6 years ago

I used pycma for some work and would like to acknowledge that properly citing it. What would be the correct citation for this package?

nikohansen commented 6 years ago

For the time being I would suggest to cite

Hansen N., Auger A. (2014) Principled Design of Continuous Stochastic Search: From Theory to Practice. In: Borenstein Y., Moraglio A. (eds) Theory and Principled Methods for the Design of Metaheuristics. Natural Computing Series. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg

https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-33206-7_8 https://scholar.google.fr/scholar?cluster=4804232258722211015&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5

or

Hansen N. (2016) The CMA Evolution Strategy: A Tutorial. ArXiv e-prints, arXiv:1604.00772 [cs.LG]

https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.00772

and give additionally the link to the code as https://github.com/CMA-ES/pycma. I will try to make the code directly citable in future.

EDIT: the code citation is now citable as [BibTeX]:

Nikolaus Hansen, Youhei Akimoto, and Petr Baudis. CMA-ES/pycma on Github. Zenodo, DOI:10.5281/zenodo.2559634, February 2019.
