This repo provides the file juliapkgs.bib (WIP) that contains several entries for many popular and personally useful Julia packages. The repo was inspired by Miles Cranmer python repo.

Note that if a peer-reviewed publication is available for a given Julia package, this is choosen as the default work to cite. Otherwise the github repo or other sources are used.

All keys use lowercase for the package name and contain the .jl extension, the only exception is the julia language itself which is just \cite{julia}. The year and author have been excluded.

• The bib entries contain unicode so its recommended to use LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX when compiling.
• Many \bibliographystyle settings/styles won't handle @misc or @software entries very well (#1), therefore, I suggest using BibLaTeX.

Here is an example on Overleaf.

The following will cite all packages:

\cite{julia, chemistryfeaturization.jl, dataframes.jl, dftk.jl, differentialequations.jl, distributions.jl, drwatson.jl, flux.jl, franklin.jl, geometricflux.jl, jump.jl, latexify.jl, luxor.jl, makie.jl, measurements.jl, metaheuristics.jl, mlj.jl, ohmyrepl.jl, plots.jl, pluto.jl, pptx.jl, scikitlearn.jl, symbolics.jl, symbolicregression.jl, taylorseries.jl, turing.jl, unitful.jl, zygote.jl} 

There are four classes of bibtex entries used in juliapkgs.bib: @article, @software, @misc, and @inproceedings. The use of @misc instead of @software is a bit arbitary.

The juliapkgs.bib file is checked and reformatted using the command/github-action:

biber --tool --validate-datamodel juliapkgs.bib

The github-action will create a release with the processed .bib file.

Pull request for updates/edits to existing entries or adding new entries are most certainly welcomed. Please be sure to use one of the classes indicated in the standardization section above. For any major restructuring of the juliapkgs.bib or the README.md files, please open an issue first to discuss changes.
