Hey guys,
I love LimeSurvey, and use it for a number of academic research projects. I now write the first paper about data collected with LimeSurvey. Therefore, I would like to cite LimeSurvey. Perhaps it is useful if LimeSurvey promotes a standardized way of doing this? This would make it easy to track papers based on LimeSurvey, and recommending a way of crediting LimeSurvey would increase the probability that LimeSurvey is mentioned in a paper, thereby increasing the number of potential users you reach. Currently, I can cite the paper by Nicole Engard (
www.mendeley.com/research/limesurvey-httplimesurveyorg/
) or the documentation (
www.mendeley.com/research/limesurvey-documentation/
).
I think providing something like
cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Citing-R
would be great. I would, however, not know how to complete this information in the case of LimeSurvey :-) This is about as far as I get:
@Manual{,
title = {LimeSurvey - The free and open source survey software
tool!},
author = {{LimeSurvey Development Team}},
organization = {LimeSurvey Development Team},
year = 2012,
url = {
limesurvey.org
}
}
Does there exist a 'LimeSurvey foundation' like you have for R? I guess that foundation's address would be the Limesurvey 'hometown'?
What do other users (and developers) think?
