Dear all,

As you know, developing software is a underappreciated activity in astronomy research. The only reward we can obtain are citations. In the documentation, could you please encourage users to also cite the packages isochrones is built upon? Here is an example I have used: https://johannesbuchner.github.io/BXA/#citing-bxa-correctly pymultinest and multinest seem to be relevant in isochrones.

Cheers, Johannes

Thanks for this note, and I apologize for the oversight! I will add such encouragement! I very much appreciate your open-source contributions.

Here are some examples of people citing multinest and isochrones, but not pymultinest: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.05372.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.05653.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.04603.pdf
