How to cite GeoCAT-viz

If you use this software, we would appreciate a citation!

Each GeoCAT-viz version is assigned a separate Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to allow users to access older releases. This ensures that users are not only able to cite the specific software version through DOIs but are also able to download & use the corresponding release for reproducibility purposes.

Please find DOIs for all the GeoCAT-viz versions here.

If you would like to cite GeoCAT-viz as a whole (without referring to a specific version), use the following text:

Visualization & Analysis Systems Technologies. (2020). Geoscience Community Analysis Toolkit: GeoCAT-viz [Software]. Boulder, CO: NSF NCAR Computational and Information Systems Lab. doi:10.5281/zenodo.6678345.

Instead, if you would like to cite a specific version of GeoCAT-viz, use the following text:

Visualization & Analysis Systems Technologies. (<Year>). Geoscience Community Analysis Toolkit: GeoCAT-viz (v<version>) [Software]. Boulder, CO, USA: NSF NCAR Computational and Information Systems Lab. doi:<DOI>.

In the above citation text, update the year, GeoCAT-viz version, and DOI as appropriate. For example:

Visualization & Analysis Systems Technologies. (2022). Geoscience Community Analysis Toolkit: GeoCAT-viz (v2022.05.0) [Software]. Boulder, CO, USA: NSF NCAR Computational and Information Systems Lab. doi:10.5281/zenodo.6678351.

Please note: The DOI minting service, Zenodo, might be suggesting their own citation text (as they are the publisher of such DOIs) in their website. We prefer the text we recommend here to be used; however, either way is acceptable.
