# Citation

If you use GWexpy in your research or publications, please cite it as follows.

## BibTeX Entry

For reproducibility, cite the exact version you used. Replace `<version used>`
with that version and use the official title below.

```bibtex
@software{gwexpy2026,
  author = {Washimi, Tatsuki},
  title = {GWexpy: Extending GWpy with metadata-preserving multidimensional abstractions for detector commissioning},
  year = {2026},
  url = {https://github.com/tatsuki-washimi/gwexpy},
  version = {<version used>}
}
```

Find released versions on the [release page](https://github.com/tatsuki-washimi/gwexpy/releases) or in the [Changelog](changelog.md).

## CITATION.cff

For a reproducible citation, use the `CITATION.cff` file from the exact release
tag you used (for example,
`https://github.com/tatsuki-washimi/gwexpy/blob/<exact tag>/CITATION.cff`),
rather than the mutable `main` branch.
