When called without an argument, cite produces the desired reference to Macaulay2.
i1 : cite
o1 = @misc{M2,
author = {Grayson, Daniel R. and Stillman, Michael E.},
title = {Macaulay2, a software system for research in algebraic geometry},
howpublished = {Available at \url{http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/}}
}
|
When applied to a loaded package cite returns a bibtex citation for inclusion in a LaTeX document, assuming there is enough information included in the package to build it. Compare the following.
i2 : cite PackageCitations
o2 = @misc{PackageCitationsSource,
title = {{PackageCitations: citation of \emph{Macaulay2} packages. Version~0.1}},
author = {Aaron Dall},
howpublished = {A \emph{Macaulay2} package available at "https://github.com/aarondall/PackageCitations-M2"}
}
|
i3 : cite Text
Warning: The "Text" package provides insufficient citation data: author.
o3 = @misc{TextSource,
title = {{Text: documentation and hypertext. Version~0.0}},
author = {},
howpublished = {A \emph{Macaulay2} package available at \url{https://github.com/Macaulay2/M2/tree/master/M2/Macaulay2/packages}}
}
|
If cite is given a string, then it will will load the package if necessary and issue the corresponding citation. Note that if the package is certified then two bibtex entries will be produced: one for the article witnessing the certification and one for the source code. Moreover, if the headline of a package does not meet a certain set of criteria then a more generic title containing "A Macaulay2 package" is produced. For example, the package PieriMaps is a certified Macaulay2 package whose headline is deemed too long by the cite method.
i4 : cite "PieriMaps"
o4 = @misc{PieriMapsSource,
title = {{PieriMaps: A \emph{Macaulay2} package. Version~1.0}},
author = {Steven V Sam},
howpublished = {A \emph{Macaulay2} package available at \url{https://github.com/Macaulay2/M2/tree/master/M2/Macaulay2/packages}}
}
@article{PieriMapsArticle,
title = {{Computing inclusions of Schur modules}},
author = {Steven V Sam},
journal = {The Journal of Software for Algebra and Geometry: Macaulay2},
volume = {1},
year = {2009},
}

No effort is made to correct apparent typos in the package data. The user is urged to check for correct spelling and grammar.
i5 : cite "Bruns"
o5 = @misc{BrunsSource,
title = {{Bruns: make a 3-generator ideal with an ``any" resolution. Version~2.0}},
author = {David Eisenbud},
howpublished = {A \emph{Macaulay2} package available at \url{https://github.com/Macaulay2/M2/tree/master/M2/Macaulay2/packages}}
}
