Hi, how should I cite the Lazarus IDE and the Free Pascal compiler in an academic work?

How about:

Free Pascal Lazarus Project, 2015. Free Pascal Rapid Application Development Integrated Development Environment Version 1.4.4. www.lazarus-ide.org.

All users - and that is a huge part - of this forum with an academic degree will tell you, you should already know. Because you are supposed to have learned that. Oh, anyway, just google on it.. >:D

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.

It is not straight forward at all. I am an academic who writes scientific software, as well as papers on algorithms. Users of my software are required to cite it, or one of my papers.

This site raises a few of the questions:

http://www.software.ac.uk/how-cite-and-describe-software?mpw

I'll try to cite you in my next paper Bart! :)

Promoting Free Pascal / Lazarus by academic citation is an excellent way to promote visibility among the scientific and academic communities.

A standard citation agreed on by the developers could help.

Cheers,

R, a free implementation of the S language for statistical computing delivers the following output if you enter citation():

Quote
To cite R in publications use:

  R Development Core Team (2009). R: A language and environment for statistical
  computing. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria. ISBN
  3-900051-07-0, URL http://www.R-project.org.

A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is

  @Manual{,
    title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
    author = {{R Development Core Team}},
    organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
    address = {Vienna, Austria},
    year = {2009},
    note = {{ISBN} 3-900051-07-0},
    url = {http://www.R-project.org},
  }

We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it when
using it for data analysis. See also ‘citation("pkgname")’ for citing R
packages.

This could be translated to Free Pascal and Lazarus as:

Quote
  Free Pascal Team (1993-2016). Free Pascal: A 32, 64 and 16 bit professional Pascal compiler. URL http://www.freepascal.org.

A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is

    author = {{Free Pascal Team}},

    url = {http://www.freepascal.org},

    author = {{Lazarus Team}},
    year = {1993-2016},

  }

As far as I know the Lazarus foundation is still in the phase of planning. Therefore, I have omitted the corresponding field.

In addition, it should be possible to cite the official Free Pascal manuals available form http://www.freepascal.org/docs.var and the publications from http://wiki.freepascal.org/Pascal_and_Lazarus_Books_and_Magazines.

It was once proposed by Michael van Canneyt, and the wiki contains a draft for a foundation charter.

Unfortunately, I am unable to deliver more information, since I am not a member of the core group. I think, however, that a Lazarus (and/or FPC) foundation would be a great achievement.

Today, I have submitted Lazarus and Free Pascal at SciCrunch.

SciCrunch is a "cooperative and collaborative data and resource discovery platform for scientific communities" and a key tool of the Resource Identification Initiative. If the submission gets accepted it will be sufficient to cite the respective RRID handles in manuscripts.

I will post updates here.

Lazarus and Free Pascal have been curated by SciCrunch.

From now on, it is possible to cite them as

Lazarus IDE, RRID:SCR_014362 and Free Pascal Compiler, RRID:SCR_014360.

Where required, it is also possible to link to the RRID entries http://scicrunch.org/browse/resources/SCR_014362 and http://scicrunch.org/browse/resources/SCR_014360, respectively.

See the Wikpiedia article on SciCrunch for more details and background information.
