Citing NSIMD in a research paper

[NK-Nikunj]

Hey! I am working on a research paper that has benchmarks that uses NSIMD for vectorization. I use the open-source version. I could not find this repository on JOSS or Zenodo.

Is there a set way to cite your repository? How do you guys prefer to be cited in a paper?

-Thanks

Hi NK-Nikunj,

Sorry for (very) late answer. Was on vacations + other stuff...

We have submitted a paper concerning NSIMD. If it is accpeted I will tell you. But I am afraid this is the only way to cite NSIMd properly. We will consider JOSS I think. As soon as I have updates I will inform you.

Will something similar to the following work for the time being?

@misc{nsimd2019,
title = {NSIMD},
year = {2019},
publisher = {GitHub},
journal = {GitHub repository},
howpublished = {\url{https://github.com/agenium-scale/nsimd}},
commit = {d4f9fc5}
}

You could deposit a version of NSIMD on Zenodo and then receive a DOI. I believe this is part of the publication process at JOSS (a journal I highly recommend). I will be happy to be a reviewer for NSIMD if you submit there, if the editors agree there is no conflict of interest.
