Citing ROS-I kuka_experimental in scientific publication? #111

Thanks to everyone involved here, i am in the process of finalizing my first publication with an ROS-I interfaced KUKA robot.

Is there a preferred way of citing this package or ROS-I?

yijiangh commented 6 years ago

This discussion [1] on ROS-I's google group is definitely related.

EDIT: @JeroenDM 's publication [2] on Descarte package's evaluation gives some examples on citing ROS-I at this stage.

Ok, thanks!

@yijiangh: I cannot find the edwards2012ros reference in the article you link. I would say that is the first academic publication about ROS-I.

For ROS itself M. Quigley, B. Gerkey, K. Conley, J. Faust, T. Foote, J. Leibs, E. Berger, R. Wheeler, A. Ng, "ROS: An open-source robot operating system", Proc. Open-Source Software Workshop Int. Conf. Robotics and Automation, 2009 seems to be the seminal paper.

@gavanderhoorn Thank you for the ROS reference, I will use that one in the future instead of the website, as I did in the article that @yijiangh mentioned. (Although the only thing left on the IEEE website seems to be the name of the reference.)

Concerning the mysterious reference edwards2012ros, also used in this [1] article, it seems to be untraceable. I think I will use ROS-Industrial's website in the future. Or is this not the right way to do this?

For ROS-I packages I suppose it's ok to use the name, author(s) and wiki page link as a reference.

@JeroenDM: searching for the ECHORD 2012 workshop leads to echord.info/wikis/website/icra-2012-workshop, which does not mention @shaun-edwards, but, the conference proceedings contain the full article (search for edwards, it's on page 29).

I'm not certain that is the first academic publication about ROS-I btw.

gavanderhoorn commented 6 years ago

Referencing the website would probably be better. ROS-I is not really an academic project, so shoe-horning in that paper written by @shaun-edwards seems strange.

The website is where the most up-to-date information about ROS-I can be found, so it's probably better to point readers to that instead of an article from 2012.

@gavanderhoorn I did not google long enough, thank you for the link :)
